Ingredients
-
¼ cup fresh lime juice
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 lime, zested
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
-
½ teaspoon ground cumin
-
4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
-
Whisk lime juice, olive oil, garlic, lime zest, salt, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and cumin together in a small bowl. Place chicken in a large plastic bag or a bowl and add lime marinade. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and place in a refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
-
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and skin is golden and lightly charred, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and garnish with cilantro.
Cook's Note:
You can use skinless, boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts and honey instead of brown sugar, if desired.
