Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 1/3 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 3/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours.
Step 3: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade.
Step 4: Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior has nice grill marks and a slight char.
Step 5: Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
