  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them in a lightly oiled baking dish (I used spray olive oil).
  • Place lime juice and zest, garlic, coconut aminos and melted soy-free Earth balance in a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Pour the mixture all over the chicken and turn the breasts so they’re well coated on all sides.
