Instructions

Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag, ensuring to squeeze out excess air, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat for optimal cooking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, garnished with additional cilantro.

Notes

Use fresh cilantro for best flavor. Marinate for longer for enhanced taste.
