Mesquite Lime Chicken
Intriguingly complex flavors are the order of the day with this unique marinade for chicken. Grill Mates Mesquite Seasoning delivers true mesquite wood flavor in a special blend of seasonings and herbs while sweet honey keeps the tart lime in check. This is certainly not the same old thing!
Prep: 5 min – Marinate: 15 min – Cook: 15 min
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons McCormick Grill Mates Mesquite Seasoning
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts
1. Mix lime juice, mesquite seasoning, oil and honey in a bowl.
2. Add chicken, turning to coat well. Marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes, or longer for extra flavor.
3. Remove chicken from marinade and grill over medium heat 4-6 minutes per side or until done. Baste with remaining marinade halfway through cooking. Discard any leftover marinade.
