Note: If you want the chicken to soak up the marinade flavors quickly, you can slice the chicken breasts in half length-wise so they are half as thick. They will also cook much quicker this way.
Ingredients
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
