Key West Grilled Chicken
Key West Grilled Chicken is a tangy and savory dish inspired by the flavors of Key West, Florida, featuring juicy grilled chicken infused with zesty citrus and herbs.
Equipment
- shallow bowl
- Gallon Ziploc Bag or marinating dish
- grill mat
- tongs
- Kebab Skewers
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or Coconut Aminos
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Red Bell Pepper finely chopped
- 4 pieces boneless chicken breast halves
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl combine soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, lime juice, garlic, bell pepper and cilantro, mixing well.
- Place chicken breast halves into the mixture, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
- Cut the chicken into 1-2" cubes, skewer onto bamboo sticks that have been soaked in water for 5 minutes, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the marinated meats over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear. For the skewers, grill about 3 minutes per side, turning occasionally.
- Serve with fresh salad, steamed veggies, grilled potato wedges or any of your favorite sides.
- For Key West grilled shrimp, substitute 2 pounds of fresh jumbo shrimp for the chicken. The shrimp will take 2-5 minutes to grill depending on the size.
- Rule of thumb- when the shrimp looks like the letter 'C' it’s done. If it looks like an 'L', it’s still raw/rare, and if it looks like an 'O'- it’s overdone!
