Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped jalapenos, minced garlic, olive oil, lime juice, honey, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

  3. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with lime wedges and your choice of sides.
