Instructions
To create this incredible Summer Grilled Citrus Chicken, simply follow these clear and concise steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 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 ensure juiciness.
6. Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the chicken and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
