Instructions

Grab a large bowl and combine the dry seasonings.
Add the chicken, garlic, olive oil, and lime.
Transfer to a zip-seal bag (This is not mandatory – but I do recommend it.)
Marinate in the fridge for at least 15-30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
Place the chicken on the grill heated to medium-high heat. Cook it until it is no longer pink on the inside, about 6-7 minutes per side (or until it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F).
Serve chicken in tacos, burritos, or salads!
