What You'll Need


  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • one lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • ½ cup scallions, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • three tablespoons olive oil
  • tow tablespoons lemon juice
  • one tablespoon apple cider vinegar

How to Make It


  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, orange zest, salt, sugar, and pepper.
  2. Place chicken in a zip-top bag and add 3 tablespoons of the citrus dressing.
  3. Seal bag and flip a few times to make sure the chicken is fully coated.
  4. Marinate in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
  5. Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  6. Take chicken out of bag and dab any excess marinade on a paper towel.
  7. If the chicken is dripping with marinade when it goes on the grill, chances are it will burn.
