Here is a Caribbean-inspired chicken recipe to get your creative juices flowing! Chicken breasts marinated in the flavors of the Caribbean islands: citrus, garlic, herbs, and a little hot sauce for spice.

Ingredient

¼ cup fresh orange juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
½ teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 ½ skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Direction

Combine orange juice, garlic, olive oil, lime juice, orange zest, ginger, oregano, and hot pepper sauce in a blender. Blend into a marinade.
Place chicken breasts in a nonporous glass dish or bowl. Pour marinade over chicken, cover dish or bowl, and refrigerate to marinate, at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
Preheat oven to broil or preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.
Remove chicken from marinade (disposing of any leftover marinade) and grill or broil 6 inches from the heat source until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 7 minutes per side.
