- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by gathering the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag. Pour in the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag and shake to coat.
- Prepare to cook by preheating your grill to medium-high or oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the grill grates or a baking dish.

- Rest the chicken for 5 minutes after cooking, then sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
Notes
