In a medium mixing bowl, combine orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well blended to form the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring the pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
Preheat your George Foreman Grill for 5 minutes with the lid closed.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
Lightly grease the grill plates with a small amount of olive oil or a non-stick spray if necessary.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and close the lid. Grill for 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Carefully remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled orange chicken with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables or rice, and enjoy!
