Key West Chicken

I <3 (heart) Lime
A little limey marinade, a little heat on the grill...it's just like you're in Key West!  And who doesn't want to be there this time of year?!  
Ingredients:  
3T Soy Sauce
1T Honey
1T Vegetable Oil
1tsp (or more...I like more) Lime Juice
1tsp Chopped Garlic (bottled minced is ok too)
4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves

1.  Preheat your grill for high heat. If you're using thicker whole chicken breasts, use medium or low heat-- says the love of my life glaring over my shoulder.  =)  

2.  In a shallow container, blend together the soy sauce, honey, oil, lime juice and garlic.  Slap that chicken in there, flip it a few times like your drenching it in suntan oil, and marinate refrigerated for at least 30 minutes.  The longer you marinate it, the stronger the flavor.  We usually go for about 4-5 hours.  

3.  Lightly oil the grill grate, and grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes (longer for thicker breasts) on each side, until juices run clear.  

4.  Where's my piña colada?
