How to Make Baked Spicy Citrus Chicken
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for a more intense flavor, up to 2 hours).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
