-3/4 cup orange juice
-1 tbsp agave syrup
-2 limes - zested and juiced
-1 garlic clove grated

Steps:

2) Cut through the center of the chicken breasts to make thinner cutlets. Poke holes with a fork to help tenderize the chicken.
3) Place the chicken cutlets in a zip top bag and pour the marinade over it. Refrigerate the marinating chicken for 4-8 hours.
Grilling:
1) Heat up the grill to medium high heat or set to 425.
