Whether it’s wrapped in corn tortillas, laid over a bed of cilantro lime rice, or enjoyed with a side of black beans and salsa verde, this honey lime chicken recipe has become a family favorite and a perfect way to spice up taco night.

It’s taco night reimagined, with a simple Honey Lime Grilled Chicken recipe that’s sure to become a family favorite.
Marinade Mastery
Let me tell you about the secret sauce to making your Honey Lime Grilled Chicken Tacos sing – it’s all in the marinade, folks. Now, grab a small bowl, and let’s get started. First, whisk together tablespoons lime juice, a dash of garlic powder, some olive oil for that rich base, a hint of sweet honey, a sprinkle of chili powder for the kick, and of course, lime zest for that zesty punch. Oh, and can’t forget about our friends, black pepper and a touch of salt, right? Once you’ve got that all mixed up, let’s show some love to those boneless skinless chicken breasts, or thighs if that’s more your style. Place them in the baking dish or a large bowl, pour the marinade over, and ensure every inch is covered in that honey lime goodness.
Now, here comes the patience part – let those flavors marry and soak into the chicken for at least 20-30 minutes. But hey, if you’ve got time on your hands, aiming for that 24-hour mark truly brings out depths of flavor that’ll make your taco night legendary. Trust me, that little bit of waiting makes a world of difference. So, let’s get marinating and make these Honey Lime Grilled Chicken Tacos the star of our next meal!
Grilling Guide

Now, let’s chat about grilling – because getting that honey lime chicken just right is both an art and a science. When you’re aiming for that succulent inside with a slight char on the outside, the grill becomes your best friend. First off, you’ll want your grill grates nice and hot. I’m talking medium-high heat here. It seals in those flavors and gets you those beautiful grill marks. Don’t forget to brush a bit of oil on your grill – it’s like a little secret to keep the chicken from sticking.
Now, onto the chicken. After it’s bathed in that delicious honey lime marinade, it’s time to cook. Lay it gently on the grill, and here’s where patience kicks in. You’re aiming for an internal temperature of about 165 degrees F. This is where a good meat thermometer becomes your trusty sidekick. No guessing – just perfect, juicy chicken every time. Flip the chicken only once, giving it about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remember, we’re not just cooking; we’re infusing every bite with love and those incredible flavors.
Keep an eye on your chicken, especially the thinner parts, to prevent overcooking. Lower heat is your ally if things are heating up too quickly. It’s all about that balance – a dance, if you will, between heat and time. And there you have it: the juiciest, most flavorful chicken ready to be the star of your taco night, thanks to a little help from Hungryroot.
Assembling Your Tacos

Building the perfect taco turns any night into a little fiesta right in our kitchen, especially when it’s taco Tuesday or just a busy weeknight looking for a burst of flavor. Once we’ve got our flavorful chicken, marinated in that sweet honey and fresh lime juice, grilled to perfection and resting, it’s all about the assembly. I love laying out all my Hungryroot toppings – the vibrant red onion, creamy sour cream, rich black beans, and that zesty salsa verde. It’s like painting a canvas but with food, where you’re the artist, and the taco shells or maybe those soft corn tortillas are your starting point.
Let’s not forget:
- a sprinkle of chili powder or dollop of pico de gallo can make all the difference in bringing out that deep, delicious flavor.
- For the crunch: a bed of shredded lettuce or a quick cabbage slaw can add that much-needed texture.
- And: a final drizzle of our honey-lime sauce, because, let’s face it, that sauce could make anything taste like a dream.
I always say, go with what you love, mix and match till you find your favorite combinations. And trust me, with these fresh, quality Hungryroot ingredients, it’s hard to go wrong.

Honey Lime Grilled Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
- 12 oz chicken breast, boneless and skinless 1/2-3/4 in. thick
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, for the skillet
- 4 torillas, corn or flour
- Honey lime Sauce:
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 salt
- 1/4 black pepper
- Toppings, optional:
- cilantro
- Onion
- cojita cheese
- salsa
- shredded cabbage
Instructions
- Ensure your chicken breasts are ½ to ¾ inch thick. If they’re thicker, pound them down to the right size for even cooking. Place them in a bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime zest, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and chili powder.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour (but for the best flavor, up to 24 hours). If possible, marinate overnight for extra tenderness and taste!
- When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature while you heat an oiled pan over medium heat.
- Take the chicken out of the marinade and place it in the pan. Discard any leftover marinade.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is nicely browned, no longer pink inside, and reaches 165°F internally. Keep an eye on it to prevent excessive charring.
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing or cubing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat juicier and more tender.
- For extra flavor, mix up a quick honey-lime sauce and brush it over the cooked chicken before serving.
- Slice or dice the chicken, then assemble your tacos with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
