Honey Lime Chicken
Amanda Haas
Notes
I had been messing around with these ingredients for months, and at 9:30 one morning, I finally got it right! (Yes, I was grilling at 9:30 a.m. and eating chicken as my second breakfast.) This chicken tastes great with a romaine salad and a side of corn or sliced and turned into tacos with rice and beans.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons honey, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄4 teaspoon red chile flakes
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1⁄2 teaspoon grated lime rind
Cooking spray
Directions
- Combine 2 tablespoons honey and next 7 ingredients (through garlic) in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken; seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator overnight, turning occasionally.
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Combine remaining 1 tablespoon honey and lime rind. Remove chicken from bag, discarding marinade. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 5 minutes on each side, basting with honey mixture during last 2 minutes of cooking time. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.
