Ingredients

1.5 lbs chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1 orange, juiced
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp Kosher salt
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

Cut chicken in half horizontally and open like a book, slicing in the middle to create two breast halves.
Season chicken breasts with salt and set aside.
Whisk all marinade ingredients in a large bowl and add chicken breast halves.
Toss chicken to coat fully and submerge as much as possible in the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-6 hours, tossing halfway through to evenly marinate the chicken.
Remove chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you plan to cook.
When ready to cook, preheat the grill and oil the grates.
Grill chicken on medium high for 4-6 minutes per side or until cooked through.
Let rest for 15 minutes, and serve.
