Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the achiote paste, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the paste is fully dissolved.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the boneless chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

  2. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

  3. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the achiote grilled chicken with your choice of sides.
