Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tsp chili powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper

• Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

  

• Preheat the grill: Heat the grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

• Grill the chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  

• Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for added flavor.
