Mexican cilantro lime chicken is a popular dish in Mexican cuisine that features chicken marinated in a mixture of cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and other spices. The chicken is typically grilled or pan-seared until it’s cooked through and has a slightly charred and crispy exterior.

The cilantro and lime combination gives the chicken a fresh and tangy flavor, while the spices add a depth of flavor and a bit of heat. This dish is often served with rice, beans, or tortillas, and can be topped with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for extra flavor. It’s a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or for entertaining guests.
