High-Protein Ginger and Lime Chicken
A quick, easy, and flavorful chicken dish perfect for busy weeknights, bursting with fresh ginger and lime.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
- 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves minced garlic optional
- 2 tablespoons honey can substitute with agave for a vegan option
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the grated ginger, lime juice, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated and marinate for at least 15 minutes in the fridge.
- Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
Marinate for at least 15 minutes for the best flavor. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Grilling enhances the smoky flavor. Don’t skip the resting time to keep the chicken juicy.
