How To Make cilantro chicken and rice

  • 1
    cook onion and garlic in melted butter add 1/2 of the cilantro and chopped jalapeno. Put the chicken, salted and peppered to taste, meaty side down (I like to skin the chicken) on top of veggies and cook for about 20 minutes or until almost done. Turn the chicken over and add remaining cilantro and finish cooking. Chicken is done when it reaches an inside temp of 185. Serve over rice
