How to Make Basil Lime Honey Ginger Grilled Chicken
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Island Grove Key Lime Honey Ginger, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and marinate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from marinade, discarding excess marinade.
- In a small saucepan, bring the remaining marinade to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Place chicken on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165-170°F (74-77°C).
- Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- In a separate bowl, gently toss 1 cup cooked rice with 1/2 of the prepared honey ginger sauce.
- To serve, plate sliced chicken over a bed of the honey ginger rice. Arrange sliced mango on top and serve with your favorite vegetable (e.g., grilled asparagus, steamed broccoli). Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
