Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the liquid.
Step 4: Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior has nice grill marks.
Step 5: While chicken cooks, pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened to a glaze consistency.
Step 6: Brush the glaze onto the grilled chicken breasts, sprinkle 1 tsp orange zest over the top, and serve immediately.
