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)
