Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 0.5 teaspoon minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 cup lime juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, cumin, garlic, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 4 hours.

Step 2

Broil the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 3

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken on a broiling pan.
