  • 1⁄4cup lime juice
  • 1⁄2cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1tablespoon olive oil
  • 1⁄2teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄4teaspoon pepper

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 in.) and place in a shallow baking pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix lime juice, cilantro, garlic, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over chicken and turn pieces to coat evenly. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or overnight.
