Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breasts
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by marinating your chicken in a combination of lime juice, chili powder, and olive oil.
Let it sit to absorb all the flavors for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill or pan over medium heat.
Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until browned and juicy.
Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F for perfectly cooked chicken.

Notes

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking for juiciness. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
