Instructions
Creating Honey Lime Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lime zest, cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices.
8. Garnish: Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
9. Serve Warm: Serve the Honey Lime Chicken warm, drizzled with any leftover marinade.
