Easy Citrus Marinated Chicken Breast

When I make this citrus-marinated chicken breast for supper, I love pairing it with a bowl of brown rice. The flavors pair perfectly, and it's a light summer meal. Each bite is full of orange, lemon, and spices. When you're not sure what to cook this summer, this recipe will be waiting for you!
