Mom’s Cilantro Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 bunches of cilantro
• chicken breasts, thighs and drumsticks
• garlic
• onion
• chicken broth
• teriyaki sauce
• yellow chilli pepper
• rice
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Clean raw chicken and add to a ziplock bag with a little bit of teriyaki sauce to marinate with for at least a couple of hours.
2. Pick off the cilantro leaves from the stems and collect into a large bowl, this can be a good way to get the kids involved. In a blender, combine 2 garlic cloves, half an onion, the cilantro leaves and yellow pepper. Mix. Add in about a cup of chicken broth. I usually eyeball this to get the consistency how I like it, not too watery but enough to keep the chicken moist. It’s best to start off thicker and add in the liquid if needed.
3. In the meantime, saute half an onion and two more garlic cloves in a large saute pan. Add in the chicken until browned. Pour the cilantro mixture over the chicken and simmer. Add in a splash of hot sauce if desired.
4. Serve chicken over rice with the cilantro mixture from the pan as dressing. It is divine!
