- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeño, minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Instructions

Notes
If you’re short on time, don’t hesitate to marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes. However, the longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
