Grilled Tropical Chicken

The weather is wonderful here today so I decided to head out to the grill again. I love this marinade recipe. It is both sweet and salty, yum! Next time I make it I am going to try the sugarfree preserves on this and see how that works. I grilled half chicken breasts so be sure to check your weight for the points. We had sweet potatoes and roasted asparagus as the sides with this. This is definitely a make again recipe and I can’t wait to try this marinade with other meats and fish.

Grilled Tropical Chicken

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes plus marinade time

Salty, yet sweet and tangy, the marinade for this dish hits all the right notes for summer.

Ingredients:

6 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced
6 Tbsp apricot preserves
6 Tbsp soy sauce
1 pounds uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces

Directions:

Preheat grill.

In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, ginger, preserves and soy sauce. Set aside 1/2 of the marinade. Add chicken to remaining marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours, turning chicken occasionally.

Grill chicken until firm and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Note: I would marinade the chicken a minimum of 2 hours when I make this again.
