Summertime Lime Chicken Tacos

My friend Lauren shared this recipe with me one day because she had made the chicken ahead of time but couldn't stop thinking about it before it was time for dinner! It is easy to make, the hardest part is remembering to put the chicken in the marinade at the right time.

1/3 c vegetable oil
1/4 c lime juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 T parsley, minced
1 t cumin
1 t oregano
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or more)

Add all the ingredients to a gallon ziploc bag and make sure the chicken is coated. Refrigerate for 8 hours, turning occasionally. Drain and discard marinade. Grill or broil chicken 5-7 minutes on each side. Cut into thin strips. Serve in warmed tortillas with your favorite taco toppings.
