Marinate the Chicken
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
