Fire up the grill for this Honey Lime Cilantro Marinated Grilled Chicken - it's so flavorful thanks to the delicious marinade of honey, lime, cilantro, olive oil, fresh garlic, and seasonings. Make this marinated grilled chicken for an easy weeknight dinner (that won't heat up the kitchen) or a weekend BBQ.
📝 Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- juice of 2 limes
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic ((minced or pressed, garlic paste))
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (trimmed)
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1Add all the ingredients, in the order listed in the recipe card, into a gallon size Ziploc bag. Securely close the bag and use your hands to press and gently shake to mix everything together.
- 2Let marinate for at least 4 hours (or up to 8 hours for optimal flavor) in the refrigerator. Avoid marinating for too long, longer than 8-12 hours, as the acidic marinade can create a mushy texture on the chicken.
- 3When ready to cook, grill over medium-high heat, for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the safe internal temperature of 165℉ is reached. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
