Instructions
- Lightly tenderize the chicken using the flat head of a meat mallet. Cut slits into each chicken breast about 1/2 inch apart and only cutting half way through the breasts. This will help the marinade sink in and cook quicker on the grill.
- Combine the orange juice, zest and juice of the lemon, garlic, salt, pepper, oil and water in a large plastic bag along or marinating dish with the prepared chicken. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 10-30 minutes.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 350°F. Spray with grill approved cooking spray and place the chicken directly over the heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until done. Since the sizes of chicken varies greatly, so will the cooking times. Use a digital thermometer to measure 165°F internally.
- Remove the chicken and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
