Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the ingredients are fully combined and the honey is dissolved.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag tightly and massage the marinade into the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours to let the flavors seep in.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and well-oiled.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Rest and Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and prepare to serve.
Notes
This dish pairs beautifully with fresh sides like mango salsa or a light quinoa salad. Make sure to let the chicken marinate for maximum flavor.
