Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- zip-top plastic bag (gallon)
- grill or cast-iron grill pan
- Grilling Tongs
- meat pounder or flat meat mallet
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, crushed garlic, and honey in a small bowl until well combined; season lightly with salt and black pepper if desired.
- Place the chicken breasts in a gallon-size zip-top bag; pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours to marinate.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade.
- Preheat a grill or a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat and oil the grates or pan lightly.
- Grill the chicken until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165ºF (about 3–6 minutes per side depending on thickness); use tongs to flip once.
- Let the chicken rest a few minutes, then serve with lime wedges if desired.
Notes
- Pound chicken to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Marinate at least 4 hours for best flavor and up to 24 hours.
- Adjust cooking time for bone-in or thicker cuts to reach 165ºF.
- You can cook in a skillet and finish in a 400ºF oven if you don’t have a grill.
- Optional additions include cilantro, lime zest, parsley, or jalapeños.
