👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped oregano, and chopped thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable bag. Pour the citrus marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated.
3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or for best results, 2-4 hours. Do not marinate for more than 8 hours, as the citrus can break down the chicken texture too much.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or oven to 200°C/400°F). Remove chicken from marinade, discarding any excess.
5. Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or bake for 15-25 minutes, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and tender.
