Grilled Tampico Chicken Breast image

Based on a So Cal Mexican favorite involving marinating chicken thigh meat in Tampico brand citrus juice. In my version, I used whole chicken breast and use a blend of carrot and fruit juices for a healthier alternative! Great on the BBQ grill but works in a pan or in the oven too...Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 1 Grilled Chicken Breast, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces chicken breasts
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 ounce carrot juice
1 ounce orange juice
1 ounce pear juice
1 ounce apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon sriracha hot chili sauce

Steps:

  • In a bowl season the breast with salt and pepper.
  • Add carrot, orange, and pear juices along with apple cider vinegar.
  • Now incorporate ginger, garlic and chili sauce.
  • Use a rubber spatula or your hand to mix items together.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. (Okay to marinate overnight).
  • Remove from refridgerator and grill for 7 minutes on the first side, flip and grill 5 minutes on other side. (Internal temperature of 160-165 degrees).
  • Remove from grill and allow chicken breast to rest in a small bowl for 2 to 5 minutes.
  • Slice the breast at an angle.
  • Note: You can create a delightful reduction sauce to accompany your dish by doubling the amount of marinade made and saving half for your sauce before beginning your prep. Start with a hot sauce pan, add the reserved marinade liquid with 2 ounces of chicken broth and reduce sauce by half.
