How to Make Grilled Lime Herb Chicken
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, Italian dressing, minced garlic, basil, thyme, salt and black pepper and mix well. Pour 1 cup of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Place chicken in the bag and marinate for at least 15 minutes (the longer you leave it the better it will be). Store in the refrigerator while marinating, shaking often to keep the chicken soaking up the delicious flavor. Keep the remaining marinade for basting the chicken on the grill.
Step 2: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill chicken over medium heat until you reach an internal temperature of 165°F (or about 30 minutes of cooking time). Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Baste the chicken frequently with the marinade while cooking and use tongs to turn the chicken so you can marinate on both sides. Just before removing the chicken from the grill, brush the remaining marinade over the chicken before serving!
