Bright and fresh but also earthy, you're going to love this recipe! It makes 1 cup, which is enough to marinate 3-4 pounds of chicken pieces. Note though that what I love to do is to use half as a marinade and then the other half as a dip for the cooked chicken. You can even swirl some plain yogurt, sour cream, or coconut milk into it to make it a creamier dip, yesssss!
