Grilled Chicken with Cilantro Lime Honey Butter is a delicious blend of flavors - Southwestern, Mediterranean & Jamaican with seasonings that can be used on any meat.

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken breasts - skinned and boned
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Cilantro Lime Honey Butter

Directions:

  1. Soak bamboo skewers in water at least one hour or use metal skewers.
  2. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
  3. Cut chicken breasts into cubes, place in a shallow pan and set aside
  4. Combine all ingredients (except chicken) in a small bowl and mix until well blended into a paste.
  5. Spread the chili mixture all over chicken with spoon or basting brush.
  6. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  7. When the grill is ready, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers.
  8. Grill chicken using medium heat for a gas grill or indirect heat for a charcoal grill.
  9. Close the lid and grill turning the chicken every 2-3 minutes until chicken is cooked through (approximately 12-15 minutes). Kebabs cook more quickly than whole chicken pieces.
  10. DO NOT overcook - the chicken will get tough quickly.
  11. Take the chicken off the grill, cover with foil and let it rest 5 minutes before serving.
  12. When ready to serve, dot the chicken with Cilantro Lime Honey Butter.
  13. The seasoning paste may be made ahead and Cilantro Butter may be made ahead and frozen.
  14. Bring the Cilantro Lime Honey Butter to room temperature before using.
