Chicken Fajita Grill with Manuka Honey Corn Cakes

If you’re looking for a different meal with some spice, flavor, and culture, this Chicken Fajita Grill with Manuka Honey Corn Cakes recipe is what you’ve been waiting for! Combining flavors like cumin, cayenne pepper, lemon, and the New Zealand-originated Manuka honey, this dish provides a healthy option for lunch or dinner for up to four people (though once anyone you know gets a bite of this dish, you’ll be doubling the recipe in the near future in order to feed more). The sweet and spicy blend forces your taste buds to experience new sensations, and you will not feel sorry for taking that leap of faith!

This dish does require marinating time for the chicken, which takes a good 8-10 hours, but with a little planning and a little patience, you’ll be blessed with a meal you want to try again over and over. Let’s get started!
