Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
In a zip-top bag or shallow dish, combine the lime juice, taco seasoning, salt, and oil. Add the chicken breasts, seal, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat and Grill
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place on the hot grill. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side without moving.
Rest and Serve
Check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
