This came out really good. I made this on the GF Grill 
but you can easily cook the chicken breasts on the 
charcoal or gas grill. Would take a bit longer.

                        Marinade:
     1/2  cup           orange juice -- pref fresh
   1      tbsp          lime juice -- fresh
   1                    dried chile -- arbol is nice*
     1/2  cup           tomato salsa
     1/8  cup           vegetable oil
     1/2  tsp           kosher salt
                        Chicken:
   3                    skinless boneless chicken breast
                        Salsa:
   2                    oranges -- peeled
     1/2  cup           cilantro -- chopped
   1                    jalapeno or similar pepper -- 
minced
   1      small         onion -- chopped
     1/8  cup           olive oil
     1/8  cup           red wine vinegar
     1/2  tsp           kosher salt
     1/4  tsp           freshly ground black pepper

To make marinade: In a small saucepan, combine orange 
juice, lime juice and chile. Bring to a boil over medium 
heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes, until 
chile is soft and plumped up. Remove from heat and let 
cool. Add salsa, oil and slat and puree with hand blender 
until smooth. If you don't have a hand blender, pour 
whole mixture into a blender or food processor and 
process until smooth.

For chicken:

Trim fat from chicken. Make a few slits in chicken with a 
knife. Place in a large re-sealable bag. Pour marinade 
over chicken, seal and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, 
preferably more.

Preheat GF Grill. When hot, spray with some cooking 
spray. Place chicken on grill. Close and cook for 5 
minutes. Remove from machine & unplug.

For salsa: 

Peel oranges and separate into segments. Cut each segment 
into 3 pieces. Put orange chunks and juices in a medium 
bowl.

Add remaining ingredients and stir to mix well. Serve at 
once.
