How to Make Margo's Chicken Marinade

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Seal the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the chicken and marinade to a resealable bag. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding the marinade.
  5. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
