In a mixing bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, olive oil, allspice, smoked paprika, thyme, and black pepper. Whisk to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for the best flavor.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.
