  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 28 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
– 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
– 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish


Instructions

Creating Key West Grilled Chicken with Tropical Citrus Marinade is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
6. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with additional citrus slices if desired.

These straightforward steps will help you create this flavorful chicken dish with ease!
