    This looks so delicious! I love cilantro and the marinade sounds really good. I would probably end up baking the chicken. How did you cook the chicken for this recipe?

    • Watson

      I baked it at 350

      • Jo

        How long did you cook the chicken at 350?

        • Sara

          25 – 30 Minutes

  • JenC

    Love this marinade. However, unbeknownst to me, my husband added some beer to the marinade. Anyway, turned out yummy!

  • Elizabeth Bowen

    We have made this but added sliced tomatoes on top once cooked!

  • valene gibbs

    I love cilantro and this looks delicious.

    I’m not very confident in the kitchen, but I love that your recipes are sweet and simple. I could definitely follow this! Not to mention, cilantro is one of my favorite flavors.

  • Heather Thiel

    I recently just discovered cilantro in cooking and it’s delicious.

    I have tried this recipe and I will make it again – it is good!

  • Jenn Westad

    Perfect, this will go great with my Cilantro addiction.

  • Michelle

    Just made this, and it was delicious! I baked it at 450 for 40 minutes, and it came out nice and juicy. I worried that the cilantro would be overwhelming, but it was a very nice level (as long as you like cilantro, of course).

  • Melanie McCaskill

    This looks so yummy! Love any sort of chicken salad. Can’t wait to try.

  • lulu

    can you cook this in the crockpot?? if so, how long?

  • Randee

    Can you cook them in a crock pot?

  • Christine Titus

    This recipe is very simple, and quite tasty. Hubby and I did have to sprinkle a little sea salt on our’s and after that little addition it was delicious! I think next time I will throw some fresh garlic in there to kick up the flavor some more. We chose to grill the chicken and it came out great!

  • Cyndia Rios-Myers

    Just cooked this for the first time today, and LOVED it. I added more salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but it was great. The grill ran out of gas, so I browned the breasts on the stove top for five minutes (on each side), before moving it to the oven for 15 minutes at 410 degrees.

    Great job!
