Mojo Chicken Breast with Grilled Citrus

Serves 4

Ingredients
Sauce:
¼ cup fresh orange juice
¼ cup fresh lime juice
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp. fresh oregano, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ tsp. salt
Chicken:
2 large chicken breasts (about 1 lb.)
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 large lime, cut into wedges
2 large oranges, sliced crosswise
1 small onion, cut into wedges
1 container (10 oz.) cherry tomatoes

Instructions
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, oregano, parsley, cumin, minced clove, and salt to make the sauce. Set aside.
2. Butterfly chicken breasts, and pound down to an even 1/3” thickness. Add to a medium bowl or large zippered plastic bag, and pour half the Mojo sauce over as a marinade. Cover or seal. Cover the sauce as well, and refrigerate both for at least 2 hours.
3. Heat an outdoor grill to 400°F, or an indoor grill pan to medium-high.
4. Remove the chicken from marinade, and discard the liquid. Season chicken with pepper.
5. Grill chicken for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the center.
6. Remove chicken from the pan or grill, and add limes, oranges, and onions. Grill for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes to grill for another 1–2 minutes, until softened but not popped.
7. Serve all together, drizzled with the reserved Mojo sauce.
