A flavorful and easy-to-make grilled chicken recipe with a zesty lime and herb marinade.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the juice of the lime, chopped cilantro, green onion, olive oil, and molasses.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well blended.
Place the chicken breasts in the bowl with the marinade, turning to coat evenly.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes for better flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest under foil for 5 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
Serve the chicken with the remaining marinade as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with additional fresh cilantro for a vibrant presentation.
