Weight Watchers Grilled Ginger Lime Chicken Recipe

This light and flavorful chicken dish is perfect for summer grilling. The tangy lime and zingy ginger make it a crowd-pleaser, and it’s healthy enough for Weight Watchers enthusiasts.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 1 tbsp lime zest
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade:

    • In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

  2. Marinate the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated.
    • Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).

  3. Grill the Chicken:

    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
    • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess.
    • Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  4. Serve:

    • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for extra zing.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a fresh green salad, grilled vegetables, or a side of brown rice for a complete and healthy meal.
