- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- Mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl or resealable bag; add chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator, 3 hours to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Transfer chicken from marinade to a shallow baking pan. Discard remaining marinade. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
