1. 1

   whisk: In a large glass bowl, whisk the lime juice, cilantro, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic cloves, cumin, cayenne pepper and olive oil.

2. 2

   marinate: Place the chicken breasts in the bowl, and make sure they are covered with marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a covering of your choice. Place in the fridge to marinate for 3-4 hours.

3. 3

   bake: Once the chicken is done marinating. Preheat your oven to 350F. Heat the avocado oil in a large oven safe pan or cast iron skillet over medium/high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides for 3-4 minutes. Then place the chicken in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes. The chicken will have an internal temperature of 165F when it is done cooking. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5-6 minutes before slicing.
