Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using.
  2. Step 2: Add 4 chicken breasts (6 oz each) to the marinade, turning to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
  4. Step 4: While chicken grills, prepare salsa verde by combining 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tbsp drained capers in a small bowl.
  5. Step 5: Spoon the fresh herb salsa verde over the grilled chicken breasts just before serving.
