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.

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