If you know anything about me, you know I don't cook. I don't like it. I just don't like one thing about it. I don't like prepping food, I don't like making sure it is fully cooked or being responsible for the possibility of giving someone salmonella. Most of all, I don't like the anticipation of seeing the looks on everyone's faces as they act like they are enjoying the ridiculously gross item I just cooked them.
Despite this, not cooking my own meals has been detrimental to my wallet and my temple {i.e. my body}. I can not eat out every meal any longer, so I've been on the hunt for healthy, easy recipes to meal prep each week.
As I was scouring the crack cocaine of the inter-webs I so fondly refer to as Pinterest, I came across this little gem...Honey Lime Grilled Cilantro Chicken. The recipe I found was actually made with chicken breasts, but I chose to modify it a little and make mine with chicken wings. When I make chicken breasts, they always tend to be a little dry for me. I much prefer a thigh or wing.
I've added the recipe below for your cooking pleasure!
Honey Lime Grilled Cilantro Chicken
Ingredients
2 lbs Chicken Breast {boneless, skinless}
1/2 Cup Cilantro
2 Garlic Cloves
1/2 Cup Honey
1/4 Cup Lime Juice
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Olive Oil
{BTW...a little side note, looking at these ingredients as I am typing this, I realized that I forgot to add a few...insert eye roll here. Good news is, they still tasted delicious!}
Instructions
1. Put chicken in a Ziploc bag.
2. 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.
3. You can cook the chicken on a grill, or in the oven as I did.
If you choose to grill them, 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.
Again, I cooked mine for 45 minutes on 350, but I think that will vary with your specific oven. Check it as you go!
You don't want some sort of meat disease!
