Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
