Instructions
Creating Honey Lime Chicken is a straightforward process when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken.
3. Refrigerate: Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for a stronger flavor.
4. Preheat Grill/Pan: Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
6. Cook Chicken: Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temperature must reach 165°F or 75°C).
7. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
8. Serve: Slice the chicken and serve it topped with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for added zest.
