Join the discussionYou can freeze the cilantro- I pick it from the stem and freeze only the leaves. Then when you want some in the dead of winter you can pull it out and crumble it instead of having to chop it.
Great tip Shellei! Thanks!!

Definitely adding this to my menu list! I have a cilantro chicken recipe I use for tacos and I love the idea of using this marinade to freeze the chicken ahead of time!!
I made a large batch of this on my mini-cooking day without the salsa verde since I didn’t have it on hand. My entire family (kiddos included) absolutely loved it! So moist and tasty! Next batch will be with the salsa, which can only make it even more yummy.
It’s a staple in my house! Glad you enjoyed it!
We loved this! We had it as is, and for sides we had grilled zuchini and yellow squash with olive oil and sprinkled with our favorite seasoning blend. Thanks!
Do you defrost this before grilling?
Caryn: Yes, thawing would be best before grilling. Enjoy!
Made this yesterday. 1 batch i let marinade in the fridge for an hour and the other one I froze. I had the intentions of grilling but it rained. So I sauteed it in a cast iron skillet. Super delicious! Flavorful and moist. Definitely a keeper.
We love to hear that!
Thank you Yanina! I plan on cooking it in a cast iron skillet as well. Glad to hear it is just as tasty!
I think this is a zero point food with WW Freestyle program. But, im not an expert. ?
