Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey or agave
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon and orange zest
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions:
- Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2 inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and citrus zest. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for basting.
- Place the chicken in a large Ziploc bag or glass bowl. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
- Preheat your outdoor grill or cast iron grill pan to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F / 200°C) and lightly oil the grates.
- Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place on the grill. Cook for 5–7 minutes per side.
- During the final 2 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with the reserved marinade for a flavorful finish.
- Verify the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) using an instant-read thermometer.
- Remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
