Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, and lime juice until smooth and emulsified. Add minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped red bell pepper. Set aside.
- Place chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over, ensuring chicken is well-coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours.
- Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F (232°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Grill chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is charred.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- For extra char, preheat the broiler and place grilled chicken under for an additional 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
