Thread: Key west chicken marinade

Got this recipe and FINALLY tried it last night. YUM! I didnt have limes so I used a lemon in place. I also boiled up the marinade in a sauce pot while cooking the chicken and poured some over the chicken when it was done. Also I cooked up some mushrooms in the sauce as well and poured them over. Had no idea how this would turn out but it would be YUMMY served with mashed potatoes, so next time that is a must. I used boneless skinless thighs since I am not a fan of white meat much either.

* 3 tablespoons soy sauce
* 2 Tbs. honey
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* Juice of 1 Lime
* 1 teaspoon minced garlic
* 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

In a small bowl combine soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, lime juice, and garlic.

If you want to have grilled breasts, Place chicken breast halves into the mixture, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes. If you prefer kebabs, cut the chicken into large chunks, skewer onto bamboo sticks that have been soaked in water for 5 minutes, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

For a slightly zestier version, add a teaspoon of Freshly Chopped cilantro to the marinade.

Grill on medium high heat for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear. Serve with fresh salad, steamed veggies, baked potato or any of your favorite sides. For variation, try marinating shrimp, (which will take 2-4 minutes to grill in all!)
