Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (2 lb. total)
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 in.) 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 (you can hold you hand over the surface only 4 to 5 seconds) and cook, turning once, until no longer pink in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
