Chipotle-Citrus Marinated Chicken image

This is my adaptation of a Cuban-style marinade recipe for pork - I use it for chicken and think you'll agree that the results are moist, tender, and delicious.

Time 4h26m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup orange juice
¼ cup lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground chipotle powder
salt and freshly ground pepper
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic powder, chipotle powder, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag; add the chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
  • Lightly oil the grill grate, and then arrange chicken on grill. Cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was tough and the flavor was bland. I would not recommend it.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I would recommend marinating it for longer next time.

This chicken was amazing! I marinated it for 24 hours and it was so flavorful and juicy. I grilled it and it was perfect. My family loved it and I will definitely be making it again.
