Grilled Honey Lime Chicken

Grilled Honey Lime Chicken with Baked Garlic Broccoli and Ranch Pasta Salad

This recipe was both sweet and spicy at the same time. The marinade itself would taste yummy on pork or chicken. You can find the original Recipe for the chicken here.

Ingredients:
1.5 - 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves or chicken thighs
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp lime zest
1/4 cup honey
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp packed light-brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder or 1 clove finely minced garlic
1/8 - 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper


Directions:

Mix together all ingredients. Marinate chicken in mixture for 4-8 hours. Reserve 2 tbsp of the mixture for topping after cooking.


Preheat grill to medium high heat. Cook chicken 5-8 minutes per side until juices run clear.


Once cooked, top with reserved sauce and serve immediately.
