Step by Step Method

Step 1

Zest both the lime and lemon and then squeeze the juice into a medium re-sealable plastic bag along with the zest of both.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, garlic chili paste, orange juice, and crushed garlic.

Step 3

Toss the green onions in a small food processor along with the remaining oil and salt; process into a paste.

Step 4

Mix with the oil mixture and add the chicken breasts; swish to coat the breasts, seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.

Step 5

Light all the burners of your grill and close the lid to bring it to high heat.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the piping-hot grill.

Step 7

Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until you have nice grill marks. Turn and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, until no longer pink in the middle. (The cook time will depend on the thickness of your chicken pieces and how high the temperature of your grill is)

The chicken came out nice and juicy...it really is packed with citrus flavors...we were expecting some heat due to the chili oil and the chili paste...we didn't get any heat...I let it marinade for 4 hours...made for "Billboard" tag game...thanks for sharing your recipe...

This worked out very well for us, even though I cut down on the spicy ingredients a lot. I used an Asian chili oil which worked well. Thanks for sharing!

The orange, lemon and lime really shine through... perfectly sweet and sour with a hint of spice. We loved the chicken. Thanks for creating, Bea!
