Right now, I am really craving those cool crisp autumn days that I know so well. Â We aren’t quite to fall weather here yet in Utah. Â We are still hanging out in the 80’s. Â I am worried I won’t get to enjoy much fall weather and that we are going to go right from summer to winter with 2 weeks in between that would be called fall. Â I guess I will just have to enjoy whatever we get. Since the weather is so warm, we are still taking advantage of the chance to grill our meals. Â Today’s recipe is a good one. Â The Honey Lime Grilled Chicken soaks in a simple marinade made from 3 ingredients. Â
All you need is some bottled Italian dressing, lime juice, and honey! It is simple, easy, and delicious – three requirements that a busy mom loves. Use chicken breasts or chicken tenders. Â I made this recipe for a family get together and it got great reviews. Â It is one that I will be using often. Â This honey lime grilled chicken would also be great served up on top of a salad.
Here is what you need to make the
Honey Lime Grilled Chicken
- ITALIAN DRESSING
- LIME JUICE
- HONEY
- CHICKEN BREASTS OR CHICKEN TENDERS (I USED TENDERS)
Honey Lime Grilled Chicken

- 4–5 chicken breasts or 12-15 chicken tenders (I used tenders)
Instructions
- In a gallon side freezer bag, add the Italian dressing, lime juice, and honey. Whisk to combine and then add the chicken.
- Place in the fridge and allow to marinate for 5-8 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium. Remove chicken from marinade and place on the grill. Grill until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side for breasts and 2-3 minutes per side for tenders. Be careful not to over cook or you will get dry chicken. Serves 4-5 people.

We grill chicken with an Italian dressing marinade, so this would be a nice change up! Pinned for future meal planning. Thank you!
