What You'll Need

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed is best!) - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon chili powder - Salt and pepper to taste - Fresh cilantro for garnish

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Fiesta Lime Chicken

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir it all together to make a zesty marinade. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. The longer, the better!

Step 2: Grill or Cook the Chicken

After the chicken has marinated, it's time to cook! Heat up your grill to medium-high heat, or if you're indoors, warm up a skillet over medium heat. Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks (or a golden sear in the skillet).

Step 3: Serve and Garnish

Once your chicken is perfectly cooked, take it off the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps keep all those juicy flavors inside! Finally, garnish with fresh cilantro and a little extra lime for that citrusy kick.
