Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until fully combined.
- Step 2: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours to infuse the flavors.
- Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to about 400°F. Remove chicken from marinade and discard excess marinade.
- Step 4: Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear. The chicken should have grill marks and be slightly firm to touch.
- Step 5: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute, then slice and enjoy.
