Steps

  • Step 1

    It’s great to get to know your local butcher to get the highest quality meats. Pound chicken breasts to 1/2” thickness.

    Ingredients
    • 4  chicken breasts

  • Step 2

    Rub chicken breasts with olive oil. Combine citrus juices, cumin, salt, and pepper and rub mixture evenly onto chicken breasts and let marinade at least 1 hour (or overnight).

    Ingredients
    • 2 Teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

    • 1  lemon, juiced

    • 1  lime, juiced

    • 1  orange, juiced

    • 4 Teaspoon ground cumin

    • 1/2 Teaspoon kosher salt

    • 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper

  • Step 3

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 350℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

  • Step 4

    Place chicken on the grill and cook until grill marks have formed and chicken is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer should read 165℉ in the thickest part of the chicken breast.
