Grilled Mexican Citrus Chicken image

Juicy and tender, this grilled chicken has a Mexican flair. The citrus isn't a noticeable flavor but it helps to tenderize the chicken breasts. When it's grilling season, this is an easy recipe anyone can make. We served the chicken with Mexican rice for a delightful and easy meal.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a store-bought marinade, but I'm sure it would be even better with a homemade one.
