Original Recipe Yield 2 chicken breasts
 

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle powder
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
  3. 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.

We didn't like it. We didn't taste any of the chipotle either. Might want to up that a bit.
