Chicken Breasts w/ Citrus- Garlic Marinade

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 20 minutes + marinating time

Cook Time: 15 to 20 minutes

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons finely minced orange zest
3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup honey
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup minced green onions (white & green parts)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients (except chicken) in large zip bag. Blend well; add chicken, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours (if you want to marinate it longer, hold off on adding the salt until just before cooking).

2. Heat grill to medium-high. Grill chicken, lid closed- turn chicken often until cooked though, about 15 to 20 minutes. Time will vary depending upon size of chicken and heat of grill. Serve hot, or refrigerate to be served cold later.
