CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN

I don't know about you, but I get in a rut of fixing the same foods over and over.  I am always in search of GOOD TASTING, HEALTHY recipes.  It seems that so many recipes are high in fat (butter, creamed soups, mayonnaise) and salt. 
 I had this pack of chicken and had planned on fixing a lime/basil chicken recipe a friend had given me. Well, I got home and didn't have any basil.  So, I created this:  Cilantro Lime Chicken.   I am bragging-  this was delicious and I created it :)   My son said it was the bomb, so that is a high rating.  I served it with roasted red pepper quinoa and steamed broccoli and carrots.  YUM.

4 chicken breasts                          1 lime
2 cloves garlic                               cilantro
2 TBS butter                                  sea salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 375.  Melt butter in a baking dish.  Chop up cilantro ( I don't have an amount, but not a lot because it has a strong flavor).  Chop up garlic or put in a garlic press.   Squeeze lime juice on chicken, then sprinkle salt & pepper, rub on garlic and cilantro.  Put in the baking dish.  Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
