Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

For the Marinade (or use your favorite)

  • ⅓ cup (80g) Fresh Orange Juice about 1 large navel orange
  • ¼ cup (60g) Lime Juice about 2 limes
  • 4 cloves (20g) Garlic peeled
  • 1 can (3.7oz) Chipotle Peppers in Adobo
  • 2 handfuls (10g) Cilantro
  • 1 Tablespoon (16g) Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt Diamond Crystal
  • 1 Tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin

Instructions

  • Blend all the marinade ingredients together in a food processor and place in an airtight container with the chicken for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • When ready to grill, preheat your Traeger to 500ºF for 15 minutes with the lid closed.
  • Add the marinated chicken breast to the grates and grill with the lid closed for about 25 minutes, flipping in the final 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160ºF at its thickest point. (Smaller 6-8 oz chicken breasts take 20-25 minutes and larger 10-12 oz chicken breasts take 25-30 minutes.)
  • Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can discard any remaining marinade or brush some on top of the chicken halfway through grilling, if desired.
