Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Orange slices (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bag, seal, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2-3 hours for enhanced flavor.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  3. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. For a thicker glaze, stir in the cornstarch mixture and simmer until thickened.
  5. Drizzle the citrus glaze over the grilled chicken. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and orange slices.
  6. Serve the grilled citrus chicken warm, paired with your favorite sides.
