Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Honey
- Freshly squeezed lime juice
- Minced garlic
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Cumin
- Paprika
- Bell peppers
- Zucchini
- Avocados
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1 teaspoon paprika. Whisk them together until fully blended.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure it’s well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken is resting, slice your chosen vegetables into even pieces. You can grill them for a couple of minutes until slightly charred, or serve them fresh.
- On a plate, layer the sliced chicken with your grilled or fresh vegetables. You can alternate layers for a beautiful stack. Drizzle any extra honey and lime mixture over the top for added flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired. Enjoy your Tangy Honey Lime Chicken Stack warm!
