Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 25 minutesIngredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the Costa Vida Chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, tortillas, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
