Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread fries on one side of a sheet pan, drizzle with oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 12 minutes.
Step 2
While fries bake, whisk orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, and 2 tbsp olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Pat chicken dry. Season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides with half the mojo marinade.
Step 4
At 12 minutes, push fries to the edges of the pan. Lay chicken in the center and drizzle with remaining mojo.
Step 5
Bake 10–12 minutes more until chicken reaches 165°F and fries are golden. Chicken should be opaque throughout.
Step 6
Divide lettuce and tomato slices between two plates. Top with a chicken breast and a generous pile of fries. Drizzle pan juices over chicken.
