  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam

Ingredients

– 2 lbs chicken breasts

– Salt and pepper to taste


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.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
