Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, lime juice, minced garlic, bell pepper, and cilantro in a shallow bowl to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in the bowl, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Grill the chicken for about 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- For kebabs, cut chicken into cubes, marinate, and thread onto skewers with vegetables before grilling.
- For shrimp, marinate and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Notes
Marinating overnight enhances flavor. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect cooking. Preheat the grill for better results.
