Green onions provide a fresh flavor and are often less expensive.

Combine fresh oregano, olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and minced garlic in a large zip top bag.

Add chicken to the bag, seal it, and shake to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade.

Marinate the chicken for about 4 hours.

Preheat the grill.

Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for 5 minutes on one side.

Flip the chicken and cook for 5 more minutes on the other side.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salsa by tossing together diced watermelon, mango, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño pepper, fresh squeezed lime juice, sugar, and salt.

Stir all the salsa ingredients together.
