Easy Garlic Chicken Breasts

1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper

In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper generously, and add chicken, making sure it is well-coated with the marinade. Marinate chicken, covered in fridge for at least 3 hours and preferably overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Arrange chicken breasts in a shallow baking pan. Season with salt and pepper.

Roast for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when you prick it with a fork.

Serves 2.

**This is really simple, but surprisingly good. The chicken is somewhat garlicky and tangy because of the lime juice, but it is not too strong-tasting. It goes great with mashed potatoes and corn muffins. :)
