Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the salsa verde, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Add the Cheese: During the last few minutes of grilling, place a slice of pepper Jack cheese on each chicken breast. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy this delicious and spicy grilled chicken!
