Florida Style Grilled Chicken

This is a great grilled chicken breast recipe and will give you that lovely southern Florida flavour. One of the main problems with cooking chicken breast is that chicken breast tends to be a little dry.

One of the ways to avoid this is to wrap your chicken in some form of fatted meat such as bacon or leave the skins on but a better way of ensuring your grilled chicken breast in succulent and good to eat is to make sure you prepare it properly with a good marinade.

Ingredients

Preparation

I prefer the flavour of Manuka honey with is very rich and toffee like in flavour. The black pepper really does add a great little kick to this dish but be careful not to overdo it

The longer you can marinade the chicken breasts for the better. I always leave my meat in the fridge over night to ensure all the wonder flavours are absorbed by the chicken. This grilled chicken breast recipe using some wonderful flavours from honey and soy sauce and lemon.

Place all the ingredients apart from the chicken into a blender and blend until thoroughly mixed. Place the chicken marinade into a large dish add the chicken breasts. One thing I like to do to ensure the marinade is absorbed is to prick the chick while it’s in the marinade with a fine needle or skewer to help the flavor travel throughout the grilled chicken breast and also helps it to stay moist. As i’ve said already, if you can marinade the grilled chicken breasts overnight then this will make quite a difference to the taste of your grilled chicken.

Set you outdoor grill to high heat and, oil the grill plate and place the chicken pieces on the grill and cook for around 10 minutes on either side until the juices run clear.

Remove the grilled chicken breasts and enjoy.
