Ingredients

Protein

  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 orange orange juice and zest
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon lemon juice and zest
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime lime juice and zest
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening glaze)

Instructions 

  • Whisk together olive oil, citrus juices and zests, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate chicken in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Remove chicken from marinade, keeping the marinade aside for the glaze.
  • Grill chicken 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (165°F internal).
  • Simmer the reserved marinade in a small saucepan for 5 minutes. If desired, dissolve cornstarch in water and stir into the glaze during the last minute to thicken.
  • Brush cooked chicken generously with the warm glaze, let sit for a couple of minutes, then serve hot with extra glaze on top.

Notes

Prepping the marinade in advance allows the citrus to tenderize the chicken beautifully.
