Honey-Lime Grilled Chicken

Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup honey; 1/3 cup soy sauce; 1/4 cup lime juice; 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

You won't have to pack a lot of supplies to stir up the easy marinade shared by Dorothy Smith of El Dorado, Arkansas. It requires only three ingredients and gives fabulous lime flavor to tender chicken breasts.

Ingredients

1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

Directions

In a resealable plastic bag, combine the honey, soy sauce and lime juice; add chicken. Seal and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill chicken, uncovered, over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.

This is a new family favorite! The chicken stayed so moist & the lime juice gave it a great fresh flavor. I think next time I will add a bit of lime zest for more citrus flavor.

Based on some of the other reviews calling this bland I marinated the chicken for four hours. The chicken was so good. Great flavor!

Easy to make. All my kids liked it, even my picky eater. I served it over steamed organic rice with vegetables.

This was so good. I did not discard the marinade though I basted the chicken while it was grilling. My guests really enjoyed it.

This recipe had almost no flavor. I added minced garlic and that wasn't enough. I would possible add more seasoning and let it marinate longer.
