Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper until well combined and slightly thickened.
- Step 2: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) in a large resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over the chicken, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours to infuse the flavors.
- Step 3: Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken breasts from marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
- Step 4: While grilling, baste the chicken with the reserved marinade during the last 3 minutes to create a citrus glaze that caramelizes slightly.
- Step 5: Transfer grilled chicken to a serving platter and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro before serving for a fresh, regional finish.
