How to Make Grilled Honey-Lime Chicken

This is simple, grilled chicken gets a tangy and slightly sweet flavor from a honey-lime marinade. Pair with a vegetable that you can throw on the grill with it, like this simple Grilled Sesame Asparagus. If you don't want to grill, you could cook the chicken on your stovetop or bake it in the oven. Make a double batch and save the leftovers to add to a wrap or salad for lunch the next day.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix together the lime juice, garlic, olive oil, honey, onions, cilantro, and salt.
Put the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the marinade to the bag and lay it flat in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Note: The longer the chicken is left to marinate, the more flavorful it will become.
Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade. Cook on the grill or stovetop for 5-8 minutes on each side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Not sure.

I am not sure if using lime juice was wrong and I should have used a different lime juice instead. The lime juice was really strong. I might have to play around with it and see what happened.

No, I don’t recommend

Delicious!

Who knew such a delicious meal could be so healthy? I highly recommend this for those who are craving a bit of a texmex flavor. I used an air fryer and the chicken smelled heavenly. I will be making this one again.

Yes, I recommend
