Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 0.25 cup lime juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 pieces corn on the cob, husked
• 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 piece red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (for relish)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for relish)
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt (for relish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, ground cumin, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Brush the corn on the cob lightly with olive oil and place them on the grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the kernels are charred in spots, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the grill and let cool.

Step 5

Cut the kernels off the cooled corn cobs and transfer to a bowl. Add the diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and kosher salt. Mix well to create the roasted corn relish.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Plate the grilled chicken and top with a generous spoonful of the roasted corn relish.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy!
