Ingredients:

8 cloves garlic, finely minced

½ cup minced yellow onion, finely minced

1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (traditionally, 'sour' orange juice is used, but the addition of lime juice solves that issue)

½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (to add more tartness, add more lime juice)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

½ teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano flakes

½ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon kosher salt

¼ cup chopped cilantro

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco (this is optional if you want some 'fire')

1 cup extra virgin olive oil

6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
