This recipe is awesome. I usually buy the thin chicken breast tendreloins from Trader Joe's, which are perfect when making this dish. Since they chicken pieces are so small, they tend to cook very quickly, which helps keep them juicy, and the honey in the recipe caramelizes in no time. Remove the jalape ño seeds for a less spicy version. If you don't want to grill the tenders, they can be broiled about 5 inches from the heat for about 6 minutes.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 pounds chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions:
1. Preheat the grill and oil the grill rack.
2. Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, oil, garlic, jalapeno, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken in the marinade and let stand for at least 10 minutes.
3. Grill the chicken until well browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve the chicken sprinkled with the cilantro and with a dollop of sour cream on the plate.
