Honey Lime Chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that combines the sweetness of honey with the tanginess of fresh lime juice. This recipe yields juicy and flavorful chicken that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a weekend barbecue.

Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Additional:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Fresh lime wedges (for serving)
  • Chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for a more intense flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of olive oil and heat on medium.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill or cook in the skillet for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5 minutes to ensure juiciness.
  6. Serve: Slice the chicken and serve with lime wedges and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
