Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Cook the chicken:
Grill: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Stovetop: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Rest and slice: Remove the chicken from the grill or skillet. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with warm tortillas, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the zesty and flavorful dish!
