In a large bowl, mix salsa verde, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill each breast for about 4-5 minutes per side or until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached.
In the last minute of grilling, place a slice of pepper Jack cheese on each piece of chicken to melt.
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Use thin-sliced breasts to save time. Marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes if short on time, but never exceed 2 hours for thin meat.
