Simple recipe for grilled chicken in a tangy and spicy citrus marinade.
Ingredients
  • 1 lime
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 orange
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 1 or 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped (depending on spice tolerance)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
Instructions
  1. In a gallon size zip top bag, juice the lime, lemon, and orange and toss the fruit in the bag as well. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bag, zip the top and give it a shake to make sure the chicken is coated in all the ingredients. Refrigerate for at least 1 and up to 4 hours.
  2. When ready to grill, remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Grill on a medium high grill, for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. If you notice the outside getting too dark, move the chicken to a less hot part of the grill. Alternatively, cook the chicken in a 450°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
