A delightful grilled chicken recipe with a sweet and spicy twist, perfect for summer gatherings.
Combine the honey, lime juice and zest, chipotle, parsley, and scallion in a bowl to create the marinade.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined for even flavor distribution.
Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage gently to coat the chicken evenly.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated with the marinade for maximum flavor.
Refrigerate the marinated chicken for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
Marinating for a longer time allows the flavors to penetrate deeper into the chicken.
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
Brush the grill with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through without overcooking.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
