Lime and Ginger Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

• Fresh cilantro (1 handful, roughly chopped)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Pepper (1/4 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Honey (2 tablespoons)
• Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 inch, freshly grated)
• Lime juice (juice of 2 limes)
• Chicken breasts (4, boneless and skinless)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all sides of the chicken are well-coated.
3. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, cover the dish and leave it in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.
4. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
6. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
7. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes off the heat. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier chicken.
8. Slice the chicken into thin strips and garnish with fresh cilantro.
9. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
