Prep & cook time: 25 mins. (plus 30+ mins. marinating time)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 C lime or lemon juice
1/2 C chopped fresh cilantro
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 T honey
1 T olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and place in a shallow baking pan. In a small bowl, mix lime juice, cilantro, garlic, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over chicken and turn pieces to coat evenly. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Lay chicken on a grill over medium heat and cook, turning once, until no longer pink in the center, 4-6 minutes per side. Can also broil in baking pan—makes the chicken even more tender/flavorful as it cooks in the marinade.
Makes 4 servings.
