Honey Lime Chicken

I found this recipe on Food.com and I’d have to say it was pretty delicious! It was a perfect meal on a summer night. The chicken was sweet, light, and just a little tangy.

So, let’s get to the recipe!

I doubled this recipe since my family is larger than 4 people.

Ingredients: Serves 4

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (I used antibiotic-free chicken)
• 1 cup white wine or 1 cup chicken broth (I used white wine, and definitely recommend it!)
• 1/2 cup honey (I used 100% pure organic honey)
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

1. In a large resealable bag, combine the wine or chicken broth, honey, lime juice and ginger and the chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2 hours, turning once.
2. Coat grill rack with cooking spray before starting the grill. Drain and discard marinade. Combine the garlic powder, salt and pepper; sprinkle on the chicken.
3. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
4. You could also bake this in the oven at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. (I grilled)

 Instead of dumping out all the marinade, I decided to use it to brush on both sides of the chicken while it was grilling.

You can pair this dish with GAPS-friendly sides, like asparagus and cucuber and tomato salad

Or you can pair it with a gluten-free grain like white rice

Either way, this recipe tastes great! This will definitly be one of my go-to chicken recipes!

Enjoy! 🙂
