Honey Lime Grilled Chicken
with sauteed green beans

Active: 30 Total: 50

Sweet and tart, this chicken is great cooked on the grill or stovetop. Just watch it closely as it cooks - the honey in the marinade can blacken or burn more quickly than other ingredients. We last featured this meal in 2018.
Cooking methods: This recipe includes instructions for using the grill or stovetop. Select your preferred method.
