Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Tropical Chicken Breast.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whisk together fresh orange juice, zesty lime juice, a drizzle of honey, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 2
Next, pour this vibrant marinade into a resealable plastic bag, and gently add your chicken breasts, making sure they’re thoroughly coated in that delicious mixture.
Step 3
Squeeze out any extra air, seal the bag tightly, and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to soak up all those wonderful flavors.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep things from sticking.
Step 5
Once the marinating time is up, take the chicken out of the bag, shaking off any excess marinade, and toss the leftover marinade away.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to grill! Place the chicken on the hot grill and let it cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side.
Step 7
You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 8
For an extra layer of assurance, an instant-read thermometer should show at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Once your chicken is perfectly grilled, remove it from the heat, sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor, and get ready to serve up a dish that’s sure to impress! Enjoy every juicy bite!.
