Spice and citrus unite in this Caribbean-influenced recipe. Turn down the heat with peanut oil instead of hot oil if you prefer.

Ingredients

low sodium soy sauce

¼ cup(s)

fresh lime juice

3 Tbsp

lime zest

2 tsp, finely minced

ginger root

2 Tbsp, finely minced or grated

garlic clove(s)

2 medium clove(s), minced

honey

1 Tbsp

cilantro

¼ cup(s), fresh, chopped, divided

uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s)

2 Tbsp, finely minced

Instructions

  1. 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.
