Instructions
Creating Honey Lime Chicken is an enjoyable process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill or Pan: Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill or in the pan. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
6. Serve: Slice the chicken and drizzle leftover marinade over it, if desired. Garnish with chopped cilantro or lime wedges for an extra touch.
