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.

I grilled the chicken over medium heat for about 10 minutes per side. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had a nice char on the outside.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe and they turned out great. I think bone-in chicken would also work well.

I marinated the chicken for 24 hours instead of 12 and it was even more flavorful. I highly recommend marinating the chicken for as long as you can.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this recipe was not too spicy for me. The citrus flavor really balanced out the heat of the chipotle.
