Directions:

  • Prepare the Marinade:

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

 

  • Marinate the Chicken:

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

Place the chicken breasts on the grill over direct heat.

Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
