Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Whisk well and add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
Step 3: While chicken grills, mix 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes in a bowl. Stir until combined to make the herb chimichurri.
Step 4: Transfer grilled chicken to a serving platter and generously spoon the summer herb chimichurri over each piece. Serve warm with fresh lemon wedges if desired.
