Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast with the lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, and salt. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes. This step infuses the chicken with bright flavors and tenderizes it slightly.
2. 2.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken slices in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. You want the internal temperature to reach 165°F. If the chicken begins to brown too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.
3. 3.
   As the chicken cooks, watch for juices running clear when pricked with a fork—an indicator it's cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches, adding a dash more oil if the pan becomes too dry.
4. 4.
   Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Resting allows juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy bite with each mouthful.
5. 5.
   To serve, take the rested chicken and slice it into thin strips. This can be enjoyed on its own or wrapped in a soft tortilla for a complete meal. To elevate the flavors, consider adding a sprinkle more of fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime before enjoying.
