Mexican Grilled Chicken Recipe

Let every bite of our Mexican Grilled Chicken take you on a flavor fiesta, with juicy citrus, fiery chili, and a salsa twist that promises a memorable meal.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 c. fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 dried chipotle chili pepper (stemmed and seeded)
• 1 c. mild salsa
• 1/4 c. olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 boneless (skinless chicken breast halves)
• 1 orange (sliced into rings)
• 1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro leaves

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Bring the orange juice, lime juice, and chili pepper to a boil in a small saucepan. Turn the heat down to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the chili pepper is rehydrated. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
2. 2Once cooled, pour the juice mixture into the bowl of a blender and add the salsa, olive oil, and salt. Puree until smooth. Place the chicken in a plastic zipper-close bag, then pour the marinade over the top. Let marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 10 hours.
3. 3Preheat your grill to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) (high heat). Once hot, place the chicken breasts on the grill rack and cook for 12-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of the breast), turning every few minutes to prevent burning.
4. 4Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the grill and place it on a platter. Garnish with the orange slices and cilantro.
