    This is one of the best chicken recipes I have ever eaten, BAR NONE!!! I cook a lot and try many recipes and this beats all. You must try. Super easy and the compound butter takes the chicken to the WOW factor. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!

    This was absolutely delicious! The herbed butter was light and zingy. We were able to use cilantro from our own herb garden. I omitted the onion (because we were out and I think it worked well without it. I also had to substitute lime juice for lemon, as we were short on that, too. To get the butter and "wet" ingredients to combine well, I just put the mixture in the microwave for 10 seconds. It made it just soft enough to wisk like the recipe called for. Then I put it in the fridge while I grilled the meat and it was set beautifully to melt later on the meat and sides. My daughter who doesn't care much for meat ate an entire chicken breast with this butter on it. I served it with a side of brown rice (which we topped with a bit more of the cilantro butter and broccoli. The whole family loved it and it was so easy!

    Very strong raw garlic and onion flavor. Was not a hit with my family.

    I made this recipe for my wife and followed the recipe for the Cilantro Butter. I marinated the breast for about 30 minutes and cooked over the grill. I even used the butter on a rib eye and it was great!

    I made this for my girl friend and she loved it. The sauce went very well with the chiken, and was easy to prepare. This was a great starting dish for a novice cook such as myself.

    Made this recipe for dinner tonight and thought it was really good. Served it with an amazing cilantro rice (recipe from Chowhound and think it made a really great combo. Also love the fact that you can make a bunch of the butter base and freeze it and then just add it over grilled chicken or pork on any random week night and make it seem like you spent hours in the kitchen. Definitely a keeper.

    I made the chicken on the grill for some friends over for dinner, was nervous they wouldn't like it! Turned out to be the conversation around the table. It's a tastier version other than BBQ sauce! I put the scampi butter on the grilled veggies giving them a nice flavor, too!

    I alter this receipt a bit. I also used half the lemon juice and I don't have a good grill pan so I baked the chicken for 30 minutes at 375 degrees instead. I spread a bit of the butter mixture on top of the chicken before cooking and on the other side mid-way through the cooking process. The chicken came out extremely juicy and was even better the next day. This will definitely become a permanent fixture in my receipe book.

    The recipe turned out very well, but I agree with the person who said there was too much lemon. It was extremely difficult to get the lemon to mix with the butter mixture. We whisked and whisked, but the watery lemon would not mix with the butter. Any suggestions on how to make this easier next time? I think I would use half the lemon. Making the Cilantro butter is must different than making a shrimp scampi where everything is cooked over a flame.

    The cilantro butter is excellent on chicken! The chicken on sale this week was the skin-on/bone-in split chicken breast so we used that instead of butterflied skinless/boneless (which is always more expensive. We grilled out at the beach and it was a nice change from barbeque chicken.
