Grilled Herb Lime Chicken. Grilled Herb and Lime Chicken is the perfect dish to get grilling season started. Thin chicken breasts are marinated in a herb sauce with extra sauce used for finishing the dish, so easy and delicious. And as you may know by now, I am also a big fan of the marinade, and grilled chicken breasts only need a handful of hours to be transformed by even a super simple marinade.
Lime in the marinade provides a zesty boost, while cilantro adds a fragrant note to this Coriander / Cilantro Lime Chicken grilled on the stove or a barbecue.
