Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin to create a marinade for the chicken.
- Step 2: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Step 3: Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade.
- Step 4: Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Step 5: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve stacked with your choice of sides, such as avocado slices or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
Notes
- For optimal storage, keep any leftover Honey Lime Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, gently warm the chicken in a skillet over low heat to maintain its moisture and tenderness. For an appealing presentation, serve the chicken stacked with fresh avocado slices and a vibrant salad for a refreshing contrast. A chef's tip: marinate the chicken for the full 2 hours to enhance the flavor depth and tenderness, making each bite irresistible!
