what you’ll need

for the chicken

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 5 cloves garlic
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• pinch of black pepper

green sauce

• 3 jalapenos, chopped (seeds removed)
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup light mayo
• 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

cilantro lime rice

• 1 cup dry rice, cooked
• 3 tbsp cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 tbsp lime juice

instructions

1. Blend all marinade ingredients (obviously not the chicken please do not blend your chicken) until smooth.
2. Add the marinade to a bag or tupperware with the chicken and let rest for at least 8 hours- i made it the night before and let it marinate for 24h.
3. For the sauce: Add all sauce ingredients to a blender and process until very green and smooth.
4. Cook your chicken as desired to an internal temp of 165°F. I used the grill and to give it a nice charred flavor and 1000% recommend that over the EFFING oven bc i set it on fire in there last time.
5. To make the rice, just add the cilantro and lime juice to your warm rice and mix it well until its nice and fluffy!
