Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper until combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3 hours for deeper flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and discard excess marinade. Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
  4. Step 4: Transfer grilled chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices and enhance tenderness.
