Quick cilantro crusted chicken recipe

I just wanted to share a recipe that I came up with one night experimenting in my kitchen with items I already had in my home. Its a simple and easy no mistake recipe. I don't eat much meat so when I make one chicken breast it feeds 2-3. I served mine with a side of spinach to keep it lean&green (but I made my family a side of rice).


CILANTRO CRUSTED CHICKEN BREAST

what you need:
1 boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 2 inch pieces
1 whole bundle of cilantro with stems removed (it really breaks down during cooking)
1 clove minced garlic
juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper Mrs. Dash
pinch of sea salt
pinch of pepper
1tbs olive oil

how to prepare:
1. place chicken, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, Mrs. Dash, sea salt & pepper in a bowl and mix
2. put olive oil in small non-stick pan and put on med-high heat
3. add all ingredients from the bowl slowly into oil
4. use spatula to flip chicken every 2-3 minutes
5. cook 10-12 minutes or until chicken is browned (cilantro will start to blacken, be slightly crispy, and stick to chicken)


I tried to zoom in on my picture but it ended up a little blurry. I tend to only eat 4 pieces of chicken with lunch and dinner and alot of veggies. Please let me know if you try it.
