Chili Lime Marinade:
Place all ingredients (except for the chicken) in a blender or food processor; pulse until combined.
Place chicken in a gallon zip-top bag; pour in marinade; turn bag over a few times to coat chicken well. Refrigerate, allowing the chicken to marinate for 6-8 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat grill to 425 degrees.
Remove chicken from marinade; place chicken directly on the grill grates. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill chicken 4-5 minutes per side, flipping only once, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165 degrees with a meat thermometer.
Allow the chicken to rest for 4-5 minutes before slicing.
Serve.
