Grilled Citrus Chicken with Strawberry Jam

There is a picture of this chicken on the left. It is really quite good! I'm sure any of the "berry" jam would compliment this chicken recipe. Even though I have only tried with Strawberry Jam. If you've made it with any other jams, let me know if it turns out well! =-)

Marinade:

1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
zest of 1 lemon, lime, and orange
1/2 cup olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. salt
3 crushed bay leaves
3 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped


Combine all ingredients in a gallon ziploc bag and let stand in room temperature for 30 minutes. Put in thawed chicken breasts (up to 8) and marinate for 2 to 3 hours in the refridgerator. Pour juice over chicken periodocally until done. Chop into chunks. Combine with some Strawberry Jam (for that sweet and tart flavor). Serve over a bed of rice.
