Instructions: How to Cook Costa Vida Grilled Chicken
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and lime juice to make the marinade.

- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and have nice grill marks.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving whole.
- Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite sides like rice, beans, salsa, guacamole, and tortillas for a complete Costa Vida-inspired meal.
