A fresh and zesty grilled chicken stack marinated in honey and lime, perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (for serving)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (for serving)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the honey, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly oil the surface.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
  5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. To assemble, layer slices of grilled chicken atop a bed of cooked rice. Top with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Marinate longer if possible for enhanced flavor. Allow chicken to rest after grilling to retain juiciness.
