Yield 4 1 plate

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil plus more for brushing
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
2-3 rosemary stalks
2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more for seasoning
4 chicken breasts (2 1/2-3 pounds)
2 oranges, cut into quarters
2 lemons, cut into quarters
2 limes, cut into quarters
Srirachi sauce
2 cups rice
Big chunk of fresh, pealed ginger
Fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Night before: Whisk two Tbsp oil with orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, 2 tsp salt, splash of Srirachi, garlic and rosemary stalks into large bowl. Add chicken. Coat thoroughly and transfer to a gallon sealed bag. Put in fridge overnight. Next day bring chicken to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350F. Quarter fruit and coat with oil. Start rice (2 cups rice plus 4.5 cups water). Add rice, ginger and cold water together in pan. Bring to a boil then stir vigorously for two minutes before covering and transferring to a low heat. Cook until done (about 30 minutes). Remove chicken from bag and pour entire marinade into saucier pan. Bring sauce to low boil. Do not reduce heat; keep at a low boil and allow to reduce to almost a glaze consistency. This can take up to 20 minutes. Brown chicken in cast iron skillet coated with vegetable oil and butter. Skillet should be very hot. Breasts should brown quickly. You only want a light golden color. Transfer skillet to oven. Broil for 12 minutes. Keep stirring sauce. Season to taste. Remove rosemary stalks just before serving. Sear fruit wedges in a very hot, raised-ridge grill pan. Plate with chicken in the middle, a tower of rice and fruit scattered about. Pour sauce over everything. Top with chopped parsley.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this recipe might change my mind.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and overcooked. The citrus marinade didn't do much for the flavor either.

I've tried many grilled chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The citrus marinade is a game-changer, and it makes the chicken so tender and juicy. I'll be adding this recipe to my regular rotation.

Absolutely delicious! The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the citrus marinade gave it a wonderful tang. I served it with roasted vegetables and a side of quinoa, and it was a hit with my family. Will definitely be making this again!
