Honey-Lime Lemongrass Grilled Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 stalks of lemongrass, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 2 stalks of finely chopped lemongrass, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure the chicken is well coated with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Brush the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the honey-lime lemongrass grilled chicken with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
Lemongrass Grilled Chicken marinated in a honey-lime sauce has its roots in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Vietnam and Thailand. The dish is a harmonious blend of tangy and sweet flavors, with the lemongrass adding a refreshing citrusy aroma. Renowned chefs like Mai Pham and David Thompson have popularized this dish, infusing their own unique twists. The best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Vietnamese or Thai restaurants, where the chicken is grilled to perfection, resulting in a smoky, caramelized exterior and juicy, flavorful meat. The key to this dish lies in the marination process, where the lemongrass, honey, and lime infuse the chicken with their vibrant flavors. For a vegetarian alternative, tofu can be substituted for chicken, offering a delightful twist on this classic dish.
