Ingredients

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice1 teaspoon grated orange zest1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped2 cloves garlic, minced1 teaspoon grated ginger root 1/2 teaspoon cumin1/2 teaspoon oregano1/2 teaspoon chili powder1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions

Mix all of the seasonings together to make the marinade. Place the chicken into a heavy, large zip-style bag and pour in the marinade. Zip up and shake, squeeze, or otherwise mix the ingredients to coat the chicken. Set aside for 10 minutes; if it's going to be longer before you grill, I recommend placing the bag in a bowl in the refridgerator. Grill over medium-high heat about 5 minutes per side (160F minimum). Remove from grill to a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to very lightly wrap the chicken, let rest for a few minutes (not long) and serve. I usually add the Caribbean black beans and rice and a mixed veggie as sides.

Makes six servings.
