Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, mesquite seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Cover the dish or seal the bag, then place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
-
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
-
Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
-
Slice the chicken and arrange it on a platter. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro.
