Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice about 2-3 limes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-lock bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let those flavors infuse.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are glowing and ready.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lime wedges and your favorite sides, and watch everyone delight in the fantastic flavors!
