Grilled Caribbean Chicken Breasts
Grilled Caribbean Chicken Breasts feature a lively balance of citrus and heat, with orange and lime brightening tender chicken while ginger, oregano, and a touch of hot sauce add warmth and spice. The marinade soaks in for bold flavor, then the chicken is grilled or broiled until juicy with lightly charred edges. Perfect for a summer dinner or weeknight cookout.
