Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 limes, juiced and zested
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh scallions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Allow it to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Grease the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and grill marks appear. Baste the chicken with any remaining marinade during grilling.
  5. Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
  6. Serve the grilled chicken with a drizzle of the remaining marinade, a sprinkle of chopped scallions, and a wedge of lime for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

You’ll want to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before grilling. This will ensure uniform cooking. When grilling, try to resist flipping the chicken too often—let it develop those beautiful grill marks. Pair the Honey Lime Grilled Chicken with a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or some fluffy rice for a complete meal. Enjoy!

Chef’s tip: Warm up the honey slightly in the microwave before whisking it into the marinade for easier mixing.
