4 servings

50 minutes

This exquisite recipe combines the freshness of lime, the spiciness of soy sauce, and the aromatic herb cilantro. Chicken fillet marinated in this mixture becomes incredibly juicy and acquires subtle citrus notes that harmonize with the heat of chili. Grilling gives the meat a delicious crust, while the cilantro sauce adds an exotic freshness. Such combinations are often found in Chinese cuisine, where flavor balance is a key element of gastronomy. This recipe is perfect for warm evenings when you crave something light yet flavorful. Serve with a side of rice or fresh vegetables to highlight its aroma and texture.
