Ingredients
– 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
– 1/4 cup coconut aminos or soy sauce
– 1/4 cup orange juice
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Zest from half an orange
Instructions
1-Getting started with this recipe is straightforward and fun, beginning with prepping your ingredients for the marinade. Slice the chicken into cutlets if you want thinner pieces that cook quickly, then mix everything in a large resealable bag for easy marinating. Let it sit for at least 1 hour to soak up that citrusy goodness, or up to 12 hours for a bolder taste.
2-Once marinated, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to keep the chicken from sticking. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F and the juices run clear for juicy results. If you donβt have a grill, cook it in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes per side instead.
3-After grilling, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the flavors. Serve it up with orange wedges, green onions, rosemary, and your choice of sides like fresh vegetables or rice to round out the meal. This method ensures a tender, flavorful dish thatβs ready in no time, making it ideal for weeknight dinners.
