Notes
Substitutions for this recipe:
- To make Whole30- omit honey
- Herbs - You can sub in chopped basil or rosemary instead of thyme
- Balsamic Vinegar - Try using infused balsamic vinegars for even more flavor
- Baking in oven - You can bake the chicken in the oven at 400 for 20-25 minutes if you don't have a grill.
- WW Freestyle Note: Since the oil is mostly for a marinade, I only counted the points for the oil the chicken was cooked in
