A flavorful and juicy grilled chicken recipe with a citrusy marinade, perfect for a summer barbecue or a light dinner.
In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, lime juice, grated ginger, chopped scallion, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
Whisk the marinade well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined for maximum flavor.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is fully coated.
Marinate the chicken for at least 3 hours or overnight for the best flavor infusion.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Avoid flipping the chicken too often to achieve nice grill marks.
Serve the grilled chicken warm with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a slice of lime for an extra touch of freshness.
