Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make the marinade. Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a resealable bag with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally 4 hours.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken breasts from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken has nice grill marks and is juicy.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1 minced garlic clove and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir well to create a smooth garlic yogurt sauce.
  4. Step 4: Serve the grilled chicken breasts hot, drizzled with the garlic yogurt sauce for a refreshing contrast.
