a plate of cilantro lime chicken.

Servings: 10

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat– cubed
  • ⅛ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ bunch fresh cilantro- chopped

Directions

  1. Sauté chicken in a medium saucepan over medium high heat until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add vinegar, lime juice, garlic, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper.  Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and liquid evaporates.
