Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
Preheat the Grill: While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Chicken: Remove from marinade and shake off excess. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from grill, let rest, then slice and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

For juicier chicken, do not skip the marinating step. Customize the marinade with spices as desired.
