Method
Preparation of Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- 2
Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the hot grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
