This easy Honey Lime Chicken recipe uses just a few pantry staples and is quick to prep and grill for a juicy, flavorful dish perfect for weeknights or meal prep.
Mix the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and olive oil in a large zipper-top bag or bowl.
Optional: Add ¼ teaspoon each cayenne pepper and kosher salt for extra flavor.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Grill chicken for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with lime slices, scallions, herbs, or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Try adding ¼ teaspoon of cayenne or a squeeze of sriracha before serving for added heat. For more flavor, dip the chicken back in marinade before grilling second side.
