What makes this recipe so unique is the cilantro marinade our team whipped up. This marinade will remind you of your favorite Mexican restaurant. It’s tangy, garlicky, full of cilantro flavor, and even has a little kick too. For the WLS Afterlife meal preppers, if you let your chicken marinate overnight then you will be in for a mouthful of flavor.
What we love most about our Cilantro Lime Chicken is that it’s perfect for entertaining friends and family. They won’t even realize that they’re eating a bariatric-friendly meal. Plus, it can be paired with almost any side dish to your liking. Set it on a bed of cauliflower rice or enjoy it with a fresh salad. No matter what you decide, this recipe alone will provide you with an excellent amount of protein.
