Creating Flavor-Packed Grilled Salsa Verde Chicken with Pepper Jack Cheese is easy when following these steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If using a grill pan, heat it on the stove over medium-high heat.

3. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side until grill marks appear. Flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

4. Add Salsa Verde: Once the chicken is almost cooked through, spoon salsa verde generously over the top of each breast.

5. Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded pepper jack cheese on top of the salsa verde. Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures moist and tender chicken.

7. Garnish and Serve: Top with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
