Mojo Marinated Chicken

I've been using a lot of citrus lately, probably because we have so much beautiful citrus at Central Market right now.  The CM air-chilled boneless chicken breasts were on sale last week so I decided to make a Mojo marinade.  Mojo is a Cuban citrus based marinade usually made with sour Seville oranges.  I used regular oranges (the Heirloom Navels were on sale) and added fresh lemon and lime.  I reserved about a third of the marinade, strained it, heated it, and then poured that over the cooked chicken.  Turned out really good!

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup lime juice

1/4 cup lemon juice
1 T. honey

3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Habanero, seeded and cut into pieces

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon cumin

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2-4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves*

Combine marinade ingredients (reserve 1/3 for sauce if you want) and marinade breasts for 30 minutes on each side.  Discard marinade.  Grill until chicken is done, about 7 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the breasts.  Transfer chicken to a serving dish.  Heat reserved, strained marinade (you don't want to eat the halapeno!) and pour over the breasts.  Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

I served this with my Quinoa with Mandarins, Fennel and Pistachios.  Citrus Fest! 

*The breasts will cook better if you flatten them slightly so that they are a more even thickness.  Don't flatten completely; just the thickest part.
