Summertime Citrus-Herb Grilled Chicken

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon honey (optional for sweetness)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Orange, lemon, and lime slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Marinade:

In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey (if using), rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Marinate the Chicken:

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Seal the dish or bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for stronger flavor.

Preheat the Grill:

Heat your grill to medium-high heat.

Grill the Chicken:

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off.

Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked (reaching an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Rest and Serve:

Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.

Serve the grilled chicken with additional fresh herb sprigs and citrus slices as garnish, if desired.
