Key West Grilled Chicken

I've cut way back on grilling chicken breast. Instead I usually grill chicken thighs or chicken tenderloins. Whenever either one is on sale I make sure to snag plenty.


This chicken came out fantastic. Tender and very tasty. If it's not my favorite grilled chicken then it is at least tied for first.

I cut up the leftovers and had them in hard taco shells with some avocado cream sauce, tomato, red onion and shredded cheese. The chicken was just as good leftover!

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 lime, juiced plus 2 more, halved

  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins (or use 4 medium breasts cut into strips) 
  • Bamboo skewers

1. Combine the soy sauce, honey, oil, lime  juice, garlic and cilantro in a bowl.

2. Place chicken into a resealable baggie. Pour in the marinade. Let marinade for at least 30 minutes.

4. Thread chicken onto skewers. Grill until done, 3-5 minutes per side. Also grill the lime halves.

5. Serve with grilled limes for drizzling.
