Ingredients

Grilled Citrus Chicken Ingredients

Preparation

Grilled Citrus Chicken Directions

1. Prepare Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Whisk until well blended.

2. Marinate Chicken

Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

3. Preheat Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

4. Grill Chicken

Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

5. Add Citrus Slices

During the last few minutes of grilling, add orange and lemon slices to the grill. Cook until grill marks appear and the slices are slightly caramelized.

6. Serve

Remove chicken and citrus slices from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with grilled citrus slices on top.
