Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, blend the lime juice, chili powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece gets a generous coating. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for a deeper flavor).
- Preheat the Grill or Oven: Set your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
- Cook the Chicken: Grill or bake the marinated chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove it from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top before serving.
Notes
Marinate your chicken the night before for maximum flavor. Use an air fryer for quicker cooking if needed.
