A vibrant and flavorful grilled chicken recipe with a tropical twist.
Combine the lemon juice, honey, canola oil, green onions, thyme, allspice, nutmeg, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth.
Blending the marinade ensures all ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Reserve a portion of the marinade for basting and pour the rest into a resealable plastic bag.
Always reserve marinade before adding raw chicken to avoid cross-contamination.
Add the chicken breasts to the bag with the marinade, seal, and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
Marinating for a longer time enhances the flavor penetration into the chicken.
Preheat the grill and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the chicken to achieve nice grill marks.
Grill the chicken over medium heat, basting with the reserved marinade, until fully cooked, about 6 minutes per side.
Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F for perfectly cooked chicken.
Serve the grilled chicken hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a slice of lemon for a touch of elegance.
