Honey-Lime Grilled Chicken - chicken breasts marinated in lime juice, honey, rosemary, garlic and thyme. Grilled to perfection! This was SO good - juicy and packed full of flavor!
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!

Steph, I love marinating chicken...and this looks like a wonderful recipe to add to our repertoire :)
ReplyDeleteI can see why you like that site. You've been putting out some great looking food!
ReplyDeleteThe 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!
ReplyDeleteThis chicken looks absolutely amazing! I want to eat this every night for dinner!
ReplyDeleteFor 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...
ReplyDeleteI know the primary flavor was lime but I don't think you can beat thyme for great grilled chicken.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Chris. Love the honey and lime and then with thyme??? yum.

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of oil are you referring to? I'm a newbie cook and I don't want to make a rookie mistake :)
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - you can use canola oil or olive oil. I usually use olive oil.
ReplyDeleteDo you think this would work in the oven? It's bit too cold out for grilling right now! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with the comment above. Would oven or skillet work ok?
ReplyDeletethis chicken recipe is amazing i have try it and my husband love it
ReplyDeleteHi, I notice some other people asked this question, but I do not find a response, so I will ask the same thing. Can you make this in the oven, and at what temperature and time. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI cut the ingredients in half and baked 2 chicken thighs in the oven at 375 F for an hour. Because I got busy the meat marinated for two days in the frig and I included the zest in the marinade but left out the thyme and rosemary because I forgot it. Did the garlic. That lime made all the difference in the world to the flavor of the chicken. It was so good that I'm setting up to make it again this week for dinner.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! Thanks for posting the recipe. Did you use bine in skin on breasts, or boneless, skinless breasts?
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - I used boneless skinless chicken breasts. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteCan you use this for other cuts (thighs & drumsticks?)
ReplyDeleteI think thighs and drumsticks would be delicious! Enjoy!
Deletewhat would you serve with this?
