This is my adaptation of a Cuban-style marinade recipe for pork - I use it for chicken and think you'll agree that the results are moist, tender, and delicious. Ingredients:
1/4 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup lime juice |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle powder |
salt and freshly ground pepper |
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
Directions:
1. Whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic powder, chipotle powder, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag; add the chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
3. Lightly oil the grill grate, and then arrange chicken on grill. Cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side.
