A delightful dish featuring marinated chicken breasts grilled to perfection, infused with vibrant flavors of citrus and honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, honey, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.

Notes
For the best flavor, marinate overnight. Avoid overcooking the chicken for a juicier result. Use fresh citrus for enhanced flavor.
