Honey-Lime Grilled Chicken


I found this chicken recipe on Pinterest (my favorite source for inspiration).  I was excited to give this recipe a try since it uses limes.  We eat a lot of lemon chicken, but not a lot of lime chicken.

This chicken couldn't be easier.  Just mix up the marinade, let the chicken marinate a few hours or overnight and grill.  The chicken was really, really good.  It was extremely moist and flavorful, and we really loved the slight sweetness from the honey.  We will definitely be making this again!

The first meal my husband ever cooked for me was on Valentine's day while we were dating. He made honey lime chicken and it was love at first bite!! Delicious!

For a while, El Pollo Loco had a tequila lime chicken that was wonderful. I'm thinking the honey is going to put this one over the top! I'll be making it tomorrow for dinner...

I know the primary flavor was lime but I don't think you can beat thyme for great grilled chicken.
