Recipe Description
This grilled herb and lime chicken is the perfect dish to get grilling season started. Thin chicken breasts are marinated in a herb sauce with extra sauce used for finishing the dish, so easy and delicious.
I love cooking with herbs because it’s a healthy way to incorporate a lot of fresh flavor into a dish and in this dish. The chicken is marinated for no more than 2 hours in the sauce. Anytime you have citrus in a marinade, it is best to not marinade any meat or fish for more than 2 hours because it can start to ‘cook’ the meat and the meat with turn weird. Half of the marinade is used and the other half is reserved for serving. Basil, cilantro and rosemary make this a bright and fresh sauce with a little sweetness from good honey. Please do not ever use a marinade that has come in contact with raw meat, always discard.
