Marinade

1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
60 milliliters fresh lemon juice
60 milliliters fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon grated, peeled fresh ginger, including juices

Extra-virgin olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, each about 170 grams
1 large red onion, about 340 grams, cut crosswise into 12-millimeter slices
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a large, resealable plastic bag combine the marinade ingredients, including 2 tablespoons oil. Place the chicken in the bag, press the air out of the bag, and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place the bag in a bowl, and refrigerate for 3 to 5 hours, turning occasionally.
