Chef Jason's Notes: This chicken marinade recipe goes really well with my grilled chicken sandwich recipe.

This marinade for chicken has a bright Mexican-style flavor and can be used with either chicken pieces or boneless skinless chicken breasts.

It's an easy chicken breast marinade recipe that uses fresh ingredients such as cilantro, garlic, and fresh zested limes. Use this bbq chicken marinade recipe anytime you're looking for a distinct Tex-Mex flavor.
