I’m always looking for new recipes and ways to cook chicken so my family doesn’t say oh no chicken again, hah! This citrus cilantro chicken recipe is just the ticket this time of year! Of course my recipes have to be grain free and gluten free whenever possible. I love citrus and tropical flavors, especially this time of year, and cilantro is one of my all time favorite foods. In my opinion it makes everything taste better! This started out as a lime chicken, but I only had 1 lime, so I had to improvise. I had plenty of oranges and lemons, so I decided to mix it up a bit with the citrus flavors.

  5. Turn the chicken and keep cooking until it is almost cooked through, then add the garlic and zest.
