For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) to ensure it is safe to eat. Marinating the chicken overnight will result in a more flavorful and tender dish.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a bowl or resealable bag, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and minced garlic. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 hrs
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate. (3 hours - overnight)
03
Step
10 mins
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (10 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Transfer the marinated chicken breasts to a shallow baking pan. Discard any remaining marinade. Season the chicken breasts once more with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
05
Step
25 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. This should take approximately 25 to 30 minutes. For best results, use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast; it should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (25-30 minutes)
06
StepRemove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
