Directions
To marinate: In a resealable, plastic bag, place raw chicken breasts. Add in ingredients for marinade (lime juice, garlic, salt, and honey.) Seal bag and evenly coat your chicken breasts. Refrigerate. Marinate at least overnight.
When ready to serve, cook chicken per your preference (Grilling for 4-5 minutes one each side or baking at 400* for 45-60 minutes are my preferences.) While chicken is cooking through, in a small saucepan over low heat, add all your Honey-Lime Glaze ingredients (soy, garlic, honey, and lime juice.) Let heat through until slightly thickened. Make sure to taste glaze before you serve. [If too tangy from lime or salty from soy, add a bit more honey or granulated sugar to balance out those flavors.]
Tips: This marinade is a new staple for my chicken breasts. The salt and citrus really tenderize the chicken great so it is juicy and soft. Fantastic! The Honey-Lime Chicken in the photo is served with my Roasted Kale Salad, whose recipe can be found under All Recipes.
