This chicken has a wonderful flavor and the citrus makes it nice and tender. Plan ahead, because it does need to marinade 1-2 hours. We enjoy using the leftover chicken on top of mixed green salads. Prep time does not include maridading. Grilling time is estimated. Ingredients:
1 1/2-2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh orange sections |
1/3 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed is best) |
1/4 cup olive oil |
3 teaspoons lime juice |
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
2 teaspoons dried oregano (i like to use mexican oregano for this) |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients except the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag; seal then lightly shake to mix.
2. Add the chicken then turn to coat well.
3. Seal and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
4. Drain and discard marinade.
5. Grill uncovered, over medium-hot coals, turning often, 10-15 minutes or until juices run clear.
