Prepare the Chicken: Start by laying your chicken breasts on a clean surface. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and cumin. This simple step ensures that the chicken is flavorful right from the start.

Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Whisk in the olive oil until the ingredients are fully mixed. This marinade is packed with zesty flavors that will infuse the chicken as it marinates.

Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the cilantro lime marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, marinate it for 1-2 hours for an even more intense flavor.

Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps keep the juices locked in, ensuring a moist and tender result. Slice the chicken and serve it with your favorite sides for a refreshing, flavorful meal.
