Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
  3. Step 3: While chicken cooks, combine 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes in a small bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season lightly with salt.
  4. Step 4: Plate grilled chicken breasts and spoon the summer herb salsa generously over each piece before serving.
