Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 0.5 cup key lime juice
  • 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. In a dressing shaker or small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, oregano, and pepper. Whisk or shake vigorously until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is emulsified.
  2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. If using breasts, pound them to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
  3. Place the chicken in a resealable bag or glass dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring every piece is coated. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  4. Preheat your grill or cast iron skillet to medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
  5. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Sear the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side.
  6. Cook until the exterior is golden brown and a meat thermometer reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
