Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1 inch.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, ground cumin, paprika, ground allspice, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the marinade.
Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
During the last minute of grilling, sprinkle the sliced scallions over the chicken to add a pop of fresh flavor.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Grilled Caribbean Chicken with your favorite side dishes, such as coconut rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh tropical fruit salsa.
