Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and rub evenly with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
  2. Step 2: Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
  3. Step 3: While chicken cooks, combine 3 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, and 2 tbsp lime juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened and syrupy.
  4. Step 4: Brush the citrus-honey glaze over grilled chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking and again after removing from grill. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
