Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.25 Cups fresh orange juice
• 2 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) fresh lime juice
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) orange zest, zested
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) fresh ginger root, minced
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) fresh oregano, minced
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) hot pepper sauce
• 1.5 Pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Steps

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a blender, combine the orange juice, minced garlic, olive oil, lime juice, zested orange, minced ginger, minced oregano, and hot pepper sauce. Blend until smooth to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a nonporous glass dish or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or for maximum flavor, marinate overnight.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade. Place the chicken on the grill, about 6 inches from the heat source. Grill for approximately 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with grilled orange slices and fresh parsley for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
