  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice
  • 2 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, chili powder, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are completely coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat Your Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).

For deeper flavor, marinate overnight. The chicken pairs well with cilantro lime rice or fresh salsa.
