Easy Honey Lime Chicken
This honey lime chicken recipe is SO EASY, super juicy, and even so good that my picky son loved them. WINNING! I’m happy to get back into a routine of cooking family meals.
With so many of my kid’s activities at night, I needed another quick and easy baked chicken recipe that would be done in 30 minutes or less.
These honey lime chicken breasts turned out so perfect and will definitely be on my meal plan list from now on. Add this simple baked chicken recipe to your week and you’ll see what I’m talking about!
While the chicken is baking, you can make rice and steamed vegetables for the perfect weeknight meal. I also think this flavorful honey lime chicken would be perfect for sandwiches or salads as well.
How do you make baked chicken soft and juicy?
There are several key factors to making these Honey Lime Chicken Breasts so flavorful and juicy.
When I’m in a hurry I will often cook chicken breasts in a skillet on the stove, but often that makes my chicken a little tough or dry, especially if you accidentally over cook it!
With this simple baked chicken recipe, you’ll never have that problem. The meat comes out of the oven super moist and easy to slice.
Look at how delicious this baked chicken looks after slicing into it! We love the sweet, sour, and savory flavors mixed together. I’m really addicted to this easy low-carb baked chicken recipe, and I bet you will be too!

Tender Baked Chicken Cooking Tips
Just follow this simple recipe tip to have no more dry chicken and a gorgeous, flavorful meal in minutes!
How Do You Get Baked Chicken to Brown?
Brown the chicken for a few minutes on each side in a skillet before placing into the oven. This gives your chicken a beautiful caramelized look and helps enhance the flavor during baking.
Searing your meat will also kill off any unwanted bacteria sitting on the surface.
What is the best dish to bake chicken in the oven?
I like to use a cast-iron skillet. If you don’t have one, use any kind of oven safe pan that will work for your stove top as well.
If you don’t have any kind of dish that is both stove top and oven safe, use a regular skillet then transfer the chicken breasts into your favorite baking dish for the oven.
Of course, you don’t need to brown your meat before baking, but I really love how much more appetizing it looks and the depth of flavor is a bonus!
What temperature should chicken be cooked to in the oven?
For this chicken recipe the oven should be at 425 degrees.
How long does it take to bake chicken?
Bake chicken in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until cooked all the way through. Your meat thermometer should read 165°. If your dish is not oven safe, you can place chicken into a casserole baking dish before putting in the oven.

Cook the meal for tonight
great!
cooking it on a pan at medium high burned the chicken and putting it in the oven created a room full of smoke. donโt try this
Thanks for this
No, you don’t have to cover the chicken in the oven.
Havenโt made this yet, but I wondered if the chicken should be covered while baking in the oven?
Yummmm! I love this idea!
Very flavorful! Iโve made it 4 times – easy, quick, Juicy & delicious!!
Any time changes when baking split breasts instead please?
So delicious! Loved the lime flavor, it was perfect!
The flavor of this is just amazing! I love how tender the chicken comes out!
I know what I will be having for dinner tonight; this looks amazing!
I am adding this to our menu!! We love chicken recipes & this looks & sounds so tasty!!
The lime gives this dish such nice color. It sounds like the perfect type of recipe for a busy fall evening.
Foolproof!!! Iโve never been able to cook chicken without it being too dry until I tried your recipe! I love it!!!!
Just with the simple way I could have had a great meal to eat. Thank you for sharing the way.
