Key West Grilled Chicken with Tropical Citrus Marinade
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Zest of 1 lime
- Zest of 1 orange
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, lime zest, and orange zest. Whisk together until well blended to form the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the tropical citrus marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and has nice grill marks.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with your favorite side dishes.
