Cilantro Grilled Chicken

"Found in a local newspaper. Try with some rice pilaf (Recipe 124730 is a good one), a green salad ( Recipe 140841 is also good), and some garlic bread ( I would suggest recipe 105726). Serve with a cold bottle of your favorite white wine and add special guests. Enjoy!"

  1. This was a grat recipe. I will make it again. I think I will used a little more fresh cilantro and a litter less balsamic vinager
     
  2. I marinated for 1.5 hrs. The chicken was very moist. I think next time I'll add more cilantro as I thought its flavor was hidden by the other ingredients. I may also increase the mustard. Overall, a tasty marinade.
     
  3. I decided late this afternoon to make this chicken dish, so I only marinated the chicken for about 2 1/2 hours. (I usually marinate for 24 hours). I loved the combination of flavours. The balsamic vinegar was not over-powering. I will definately make this again. p.s. my cats couldn't get enough..
