Instructions

Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken breasts well and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Top each chicken breast with salsa verde and pepper jack cheese. Close the grill lid for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with extra lime wedges.
