Garlic Lime Chicken Breasts - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
    4 chicken breast halves, rinsed and patted dry (2 lbs. total, with or without skin)
    lime wedge
Preparation
    Whisk together lime juice, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
    Add chicken, turning to coat. Marinate chicken, covered and refrigerated, turning once or twice, for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
    Put a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees.
    Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and arrange skin side up, without crowding, in a shallow baking dish.
    Season with salt and pepper. Roast until just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
    If chicken has a skin, turn oven to broil. Broil chicken about 2 inches from the heat until skin is crisp, about 2 minutes.
    Serve with lime wedges.
