Honey Lime Grilled Chicken

Print Recipe
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves 6-oz.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinate chicken overnight or for at least 2 hours (see recipe). Vegetarians: If using bamboo skewers, presoak them in water for 30 minutes, to prevent burning on the grill.
  • Place chicken in a shallow baking dish. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Blend well then pour half of the mixture over the chicken.
  • Turn chicken to coat, cover, and then refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours. Cover remaining marinade and refrigerate for later use. Preheat grill to MEDIUM.
  • Grill chicken for 6 minutes per side (depending on thickness), turning and basting with reserved marinade. Serve and enjoy!
