Grilled Honey Lime Cilantro Chicken

Honey + Lime + Cilantro = one of my favorite flavor combinations.  Something about the sweet honey and tangy lime plus the cilantro infuses this chicken with such amazing flavor.   I love cilantro!  It is one of my favorite herbs to cook and garnish with.

This marinade comes together quickly and I love to marinade for a few hours so the chicken can soak up the delicious flavor.  I am seriously all about the quick and easy BBQ dishes lately.

Since the weeks are starting to get so busy and school is almost over this chicken was a delicious meal that my entire family loved.  After a busy day we love to just spend time in the backyard while we BBQ.  It was fun to enjoy the sun after a long week of rain.

• ½ cup cilantro, finely chopped

• 1 Tablespoon olive oil

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or thighs

Instructions:

1. Put chicken in a ziplock bag. In a small bowl combine lime juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken and seal the bag and let marinade for 3 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat your grill to medium high heat. Grill each side of the chicken for about 3-4 minutes or until cooked throughout and no longer pink.
