Before a quick turn under the broiler, the chicken takes on bright flavors while marinating. Serve with tortillas, salsa, diced avocado, and cheese to build a fantastic fajita. Butterflying the chicken breasts helps them cook evenly and quickly. Just arrange breasts on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice evenly through the center while you apply slight pressure on top with the other hand and fold open like a book.

Ingredients
Method
Put lime juice, 1/4 cup of the oil, garlic, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and chicken into a sturdy, resealable plastic bag; seal tightly, shake to coat chicken and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
Arrange an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler; preheat the broiler.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onions, peppers and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove chicken from its marinade and transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet; discard leftover marinade.
Broil chicken, flipping once, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
Alternatively, prepare a grill for medium-high heat cooking and grill chicken until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
Transfer to a cutting board, set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
