Grilled Lemon-Lime Chicken Breast

8 - boneless chicken breast, skinless
1/2 - cup vegetable oil
1/4 - cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 - cup fresh lime juice
1 - teaspoon lemon peel
1 - teaspoon lime peel
2 - tablespoon cilantro
1/2 - teaspoon salt
1/2 - teaspoon pepper

You want to rinse the chicken breast under cold water. Then pat dry with paper towels. Next, place the breasts in a non-reactive container (either plastic, glass, ceramic, or other non-metallic material). You may use a plastic zip lock bag also.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, lemon juice, lime juice, lemon peel, lime peel, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Pour lemon-lime mixture into bowl or plastic bag. Cover or seal and place in a refrigerator. Marinade in refrigerator between 2 to 6 hours (the longer the better). You want to turn the chicken breast occasionally.
Prepare a medium-hot grill fire and well oiled.
Take the chicken out of marinade. Make sure you discard the marinade. Place the breast on the grill and cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side. You only want to turn once. Total cooking time is 10 minutes. You can test by cutting into the breast. You do not want any signs of pinkness.
