Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed )
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 jalapeno sliced into quarter inch pieces
  • cilantro and lime for topping

Instruction

  • Make the marinade by combing the extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, cumin, red pepper, salt and pepper in a bowl with 2-3 slices of jalapeño.
  • To a plastic container or plastic bag, add the chicken breasts and marinade. Refrigerate 2-3 hours (overnight is even better!) to allow chicken breasts to soak up the lime-y good marinade.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 20 minutes prior to cooking to bring to room temperature.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium heat (alternatively you can grill these), place the chicken and marinade on the heated pan.
  • Cook 7-8 minutes until the chicken browns on the bottom. Flip the chicken and cook another 7-8 minutes on the other side until cooked through completely. Depending on the thickness of the chicken, you may need more or less time.
  • Remove chicken from the grill pan, serve immediately and garnish with lime, cilantro and <a href="https://skinnyfitalicious.com/5-minute-spicy-fresh-blender-salsa/">5 minute blender salsa</a>!
