Ingredients
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest (1 orange)
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons lime zest (2 limes)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 4 chicken breasts about 1 pound
- fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
- Orange and lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together orange juice and zest, lime juice and zest, oil, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika in a mixing bowl.
- Place chicken breasts in a gallon-sized zip top bag. Pour in marinade. Seal bag and work marinade over chicken. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 2 hours (up to 6 hours).
- Preheat grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, flipping once. (3 to 4 minutes per side for thin cut breasts.) Check to ensure chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Remove chicken to a serving plate. Garnish with orange and lime slices and parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- I like to use thin cut chicken breasts or butterfly in half regular breasts to help cut down on the cooking time.
- You can bake this chicken for about 24 minutes at 400 degrees F or cook it in a large skillet on the stove top over medium heat for about 10 minutes, flipping once. Cook until no longer pink and juices run clear.
