Description
A delightful dish of honey glazed grilled chicken breasts that combines sweet and savory flavors for a juicy and tender meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon juice (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish, like parsley or cilantro
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until well blended. Place the chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pouring the marinade over. Seal and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat Your Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F) while the chicken is marinating.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard any leftover marinade). Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice against the grain and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
For a healthier version, use skinless chicken thighs and consider agave syrup instead of honey. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
