Ingredients
Units
Scale
Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Hot Honey Marinade
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Corn Salad
- 2 ears of fresh sweet corn
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Begin by combining hot honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all those fabulous flavors.
- Prepare the Corn Salad: While the chicken is marinating, grill or boil the corn until tender. Once cooled, cut the kernels off the cob and mix them in a bowl with diced bell peppers, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss everything together and set aside.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165ยฐF, ensuring it is perfectly cooked and juicy.
- Assemble the Dish: Once the chicken is grilled, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. Serve the sliced chicken over a generous portion of the sweet corn salad, drizzling any remaining hot honey on top for an extra flavor boost.
Notes
- Donโt Skip the Marinade: Allowing the chicken to marinate enhances its flavor and tenderness significantly.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh produce not only tastes better but also elevates the dish visually.
- Preheat the Grill: A hot grill ensures perfect grill marks and prevents the chicken from sticking.
- Let It Rest: Allow the chicken to rest after grilling to retain its juices, making each bite succulent.
- Experiment with Herbs: Feel free to mix in different herbs like parsley or basil for a unique twist on the salad.
