4 pieces skinless boneless chicken breasts Choose skinless and boneless for a healthier option.

1/4 cup lime juice Freshly squeezed lime juice is recommended.
2 tablespoons soy sauce Adds depth and umami flavor.
2 cloves minced garlic Essential for aromatic flavor.
to taste salt and pepper For seasoning the chicken.

Method

Preparation

In a bowl, combine honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the chicken in the marinade and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat.

Cooking

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking, and use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can customize the dish by adding red pepper flakes for heat or pineapple juice for a tropical twist.
