Ingredients

1/4 cup(s) low sodium soy sauce   
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice   
2 tsp lime zest, finely minced   
2 Tbsp ginger root, finely minced or grated   
2 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced   
1 Tbsp honey   
1 Tbsp chili oil, or other hot oil   
1/4 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, chopped, divided   
  1 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s), four 4 oz pieces   
  2 Tbsp uncooked scallion(s), finely minced   

Instructions

  • In a large non-reactive bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, ginger, garlic, honey, oil and 2 tablespoons cilantro; mix well. Remove and reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade. Add chicken to bowl, tossing to make sure each piece is coated; refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

  • Preheat broiler to high. Remove chicken from marinade and place in a baking dish; discard marinade. Broil chicken, 4 to 6 minutes; flip and brush chicken with reserved marinade. Return chicken to oven and broil until chicken is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes more.

Family loved it and it was so easy to make in early afternoon in preparation for dinner. Served with rice and green beans. A light but satisfying meal.
