Steps:
- If using chicken breasts that are quite thick, slice horizontally to create thin cutlets. This helps us cook the chicken faster and gets us better browning on all sides.
- Add chicken and all marinade ingredients to a gallon ziploc bag. Squeeze out excess air and zip closed. Lay flat, spreading the marinade inside the bag so that it's distributed evenly around the chicken breasts. Let marinade for a minimum of 1 hour. I prefer to let it marinade for several hours or overnight if possible.
- Preheat grill to medium high heat.
- Place your marinated chicken on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes, flip, and grill other side for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Cooking time varies depending on the thickness of your chicken.

Steps:
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the tenderloins from the chicken breast and set aside for another use. Brush the chicken lightly with oil, then season the skin with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill skin-side down, and cook until the edges turn opaque, about 6 minutes. (To get nifty cross-hatch grill marks, about half way through cooking reposition the breast about 45 degrees from their original position.) Season with salt and pepper, and turn chicken over, and cook until firm to the touch, about 6 more minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, make the gremolata: Chop the garlic, add the salt, and continue chopping to make a paste. In a small bowl, stir the garlic together with the lemon zest, parsley and olive oil Season with pepper, to taste.
- Slice the breasts, against the grain and serve with the gremolata.

GRILLED ORANGE CHICKEN BREASTS
This chicken has a wonderful flavor and the citrus makes it nice and tender. Plan ahead, because it does need to marinade 1-2 hours. We enjoy using the leftover chicken on top of mixed green salads. Prep time does not include maridading. Grilling time is estimated.
