Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Lemon Honey Glazed Chicken Strips that are perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Place the chicken strips in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
- Grill or cook the chicken strips for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.
- Serve the chicken strips over a bed of mixed greens or in a wrap with your favorite veggies for a delicious meal.
