Prepare the Chicken
If you prefer crispy chicken, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin. Cook on each side for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. For grilled chicken, preheat the grill and cook the seasoned chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side.
