Cilantro and Lime chicken

This is one of my favorite hot weather dinners. It is delicious and refreshing. I mean, how could you go wrong with cilantro and lime?!

You Will Need:

2 Pounds of Chicken (breasts and thighs both work really well here)
2 Limes
1/2 Cup Cilantro, Chopped
Table Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Adobo Seasoning
Non-Stick Cooking Spray
Capers

Directions:

- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- In cooking spray coated large frying pan, combine cilantro, the juice from the limes (save the rinds), and a little salt and pepper.
- Cook over med-high heat until the cilantro is all mushy and it smells delicious.
- Add the chicken, sprinkle with Adobo, and toss some capers in. Add the rinds from the limes.
- Cook each side of the chicken for about 5 minutes, until it is golden in color and there are seasonings stuck to it.
- Transfer to a baking dish or baking tray and cook in the oven for 37 minutes (make sure the meat is fully cooked)

- Serve over white sticky rice or over pasta.

Enjoy!! <3
