Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Marinate the Chicken
Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 75°C/165°F).
