Instructions:
Combine the lime zest, lime juice, orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, and black pepper in a large zip top bag. Add in the chicken and place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to 24 hours. Preheat an outdoor grill to about 400º.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked. Let the chicken rest a few minutes before serving. Squeeze with fresh lime juice and top with cilantro leaves.
