Delicious Honey Lime Chicken Recipe for Mediterranean Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 pound chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup honey (preferably raw)
  • 1 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

    Adjust honey and lime juice to taste for sweetness and acidity.
  2. Marinate Chicken

    Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    For best flavor, marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    Ensure the grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook Chicken

    Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Serve

    Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides.

    Garnish with lime wedges and fresh herbs for added flavor.
