Preparing Honey Lime Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. For stovetop cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). For stovetop cooking, cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, adjusting the heat as necessary.
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This step ensures juiciness.
6. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken if desired, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Following these easy steps will help you create an incredible Honey Lime Chicken dish that is both flavorful and satisfying.
