Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a sealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Preparing Side Dishes

  1. 5

    Cook the Wild Rice

    In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the wild rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    In another pot, add the diced potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 7

    Sauté Green Beans

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the trimmed green beans and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Plating

  1. 8

    Assemble the Platter

    On a large platter, arrange the grilled chicken breasts, wild rice, diced potatoes, and sautéed green beans. Serve immediately.
