As soon as the weather starts to warm up, we start to grill (even if the forecast says snow, but it’s still going to be 50 degrees outside for the day).
It’s always a quick, easy way to get dinner on the table and when the heat of the summer hits – it’s nice to not have to turn on your oven.
We are HUGE fans of the honey-lime flavor combination (enter: our ever-popular honey lime enchiladas), so we couldn’t resist marinading chicken and grilling it for summer.

Let us give you your time back. With the Six Sisters’ Meal Plans, we do the dinner planning, grocery ordering, and then all you have to do is decide whether to pick them up or have them delivered.
How to make this Honey Lime Grilled Chicken Marinade:
- Combine lime juice, oil, honey, thyme, rosemary, garlic and pepper. Pour it over chickens in a ziploc bag. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours up to overnight.
- Grill until done and juices run clear – about 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
Grilling this Honey Lime Chicken breast doesn’t have to be difficult. Follow these steps for the best grilled chicken:
- Store your chicken separately from other food in the fridge. Keep your raw chicken on the bottom shelf of the fridge so it doesn’t drip onto other foods.
- Always thaw chicken in the refrigerator instead of leaving it out at room temperature. When you thaw chicken in the microwave, it begins cooking the meat immediately and can cause harmful bacteria to grow if it isn’t completely cooked all at once.
- Add flavor by marinating. If you are using a marinade as a basting or dipping sauce, set aside a portion for later before adding the raw meat to it.

Why oh why do people post comments before even cooking and tasting a dish?!? I want reviews! Real, honest reviews! Ugh!

I totally agree. Why comment if you haven’t made the recipe?
What is the side dish pictures with the chicken? Looks yummy too!
Not sure what it is in that picture. We have a lot of side dishes on our blog. Just click on categories at the top and then find “sidedishes”. We love our slow cooker Mac n Cheese.
I made this marinade last night and it was AMAZING! The chicken had such wonderful flavor and was so juicy! This is definitely going into my meal rotation. Absolutely DELICIOUS!!
Would I be able to make this on a George Foreman grill instead of a BBQ?
Hi Emily, It should be just fine on your George Foreman.
This recipe had good flavor but it really does need salt. Planning on making it again with the addition of salt and I think it will be perfect!
This recipe was delicious!
We have made this recipe several times exactly as written. It is delicious. Our whole family loves it! Thank you so much!
