In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create the marinade.
Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the citrus salsa by dicing 1 cup of fresh pineapple, 1 orange, and 1/2 red onion, and mixing them in a bowl.
Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt to the salsa, then set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill, cooking for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the grilled chicken topped with the citrus salsa for a burst of flavor and freshness.
Enjoy your zesty herb-infused grilled chicken with a side of quinoa or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
