Pepper-lime chicken is a zesty and flavorful grilled chicken recipe. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of lime juice, black pepper, garlic, and olive oil, which infuses it with tangy and spicy flavors. Grill the chicken until it is juicy and charred, and serve it with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an extra burst of citrusy goodness.
