Ingredients

½ cup chopped onion

1/3 cup lime juice

6 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon dried thyme

¼ teaspoon ground red pepper

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about ¼ pound each)

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

1.) Combine onion, lime juice and garlic in a food processor. Process until onion is finely minced. Transfer to a resealable food storage bag. Add cumin, oregano, thyme, and red pepper; knead bag until blended. Place chicken in a bag; press out air and seal. Turn to coat chicken with marinade. Refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 4 hours, turning occasionally.

2.) Spray grid with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare the grill for direct cooking. Remove chicken from marinade. Place chicken on the grid. Grill 5 – 7 minutes on each side over medium heat or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Transfer chicken to a clean serving platter and garnish with cilantro if desired.
