Ingredients
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless skinless
- 3 cups rice cooked
- 1 cup carrot cut into matchsticks
- 1 cup sugar snap peas cut in half
- ½ cup scallion finely chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, orange zest, salt, sugar, and pepper.
- Place the chicken in a zip-top bag and add 3 tablespoons of the citrus dressing. Seal the bag and flip it a few times to coat the chicken in the dressing. Marinate in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Take chicken out of the bag and allow any excess liquid to drip off.
- Grill the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from the grill and slice thinly on the bias.
- In a large bowl, combine rice, carrots, sugar snap peas, and scallions. Add 4 tablespoons of the citrus dressing and gently toss to combine.
- Serve the chicken over rice and drizzle with the remaining dressing, if desired.
