Marinated Fajita Chicken

Marinated Fajita Chicken
  • 1 cup lime juice
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 5 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves


  1. Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and red pepper flakes in a bowl; pour into a large resealable plastic bag.
  2. Put the chicken breasts into the bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Arrange chicken breasts in a baking dish.
  6. Bake chicken breasts in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  7. Shred chicken breasts with two forks to desired texture.
