INGREDIENTS

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 limes, juiced
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle pale ale style beer
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. When grill is ready, brush the grate lightly with oil.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the lime juice, beer, honey, cilantro, salt and pepper. Place chicken into the sauce, cover, and marinate for about 30 minutes.
  3. Remove chicken breasts from marinade, and place on the grill. Grill for about 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear, and the internal temperature of the meat has reached 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Discard leftover marinade.

This had no discernible smell or taste other than the fresh cilantro I used. I marinated it for 1 hour and then added ginger and garlic in the hopes of giving it some added 'zing', but it just didn't work. And I don't consider salt and pepper 'spices'. My guests (we were 6) were unanimously underwhelmed. I won't be making it again.

This was very good... I marinaded the chicken overnight with some garlic cloves, the leftover limes, and cayanne pepper and used it to make soft shell tacos - DELICIOUS!
