In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, ground coriander, and black pepper to create the marinade. Whisk well to mix.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring every piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray the grill grates or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the chicken on one side for 6-8 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Serve the grilled chicken with lime wedges on the side for an added zesty flavor. Optionally garnish with extra chopped cilantro.
