1 lbs chicken breasts
0.25 cup orange juice
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp orange zest
0.5 tsp lemon zest
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix together orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, minced garlic, orange zest, and lemon zest to create the glaze.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour half of the glaze over the chicken. Seal the bag and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side.
- Use the remaining glaze to brush over the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F before removing from grill.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving to retain juiciness. Serve with your choice of fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
