• Juice of 2 limes
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the diced jalapenos, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.

3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
4. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
6. Serve the Jalapeno Lime Chicken as a main course with rice and vegetables, or use it in tacos, salads, or sandwiches for a flavorful twist on your favorite dishes.
