Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lime zest
1 tbsp lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 tsp ground cumin
2 -3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast half
1 sliced jalapeno pepper, for garnish
sliced black olives, for garnish

Directions:

Combine the oil, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeno, cumin, minced garlic, pepper and salt in a resealable plastic bag.
Place chicken in bag and press to remove excess air; seal tightly.
Turn bag over several times in order to coat chicken with mixture.
Chill 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
Preheat grill, oven broiler or indoor grill to medium high heat.
Place the chicken on grill or in broiler pan.
Cook 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear when pierced with a fork, turning twice to get grill marks.
Garnish with jalapeno slices and black olives if desired.
Please note: When handling jalapeno peppers take caution.
They can sting and irritate the skin; wear rubber gloves when handling and do not touch face or eyes.
Wash hands throughly with soap and water after handling.
The time to make does not include the marinade time.
