Ingredients
- 1 lemon

- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon adobo all-purpose seasoning
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts

- 6 slices pepper jack cheese (about 8 ounces)

Instructions
- Finely grate the zest of the lemon, lime and orange into a medium bowl. Squeeze in the juice of each fruit.
- Add the chili powder, adobo seasoning and olive oil; whisk to combine.
- Add the chicken and coat well with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
