Ingredients

• 3 chicken breasts
• 1 jalapeno, sliced into ¼- inch pieces widthwise
• 3 T lime juice
• 1 T extra virgin olive oil
• ½ t cumin
• ¼ t red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• In a small bowl or ramekin, prepare the marinade by adding the lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and 1 slice of jalapeno.
• Place the chicken breasts and marinade in a plastic bag. Put in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours to marinate.

• Heat a skillet to medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, place the chicken on the skillet and pour the marinade over it. Cook 7 minutes until the chicken begins to brown on the bottom, then flip the chicken with a spatula and cook another 7 minutes on the other side, or until fully cooked through.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet, serve immediately with sliced jalapenos and garnish with cilantro.
