cumin powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons
paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
b. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin
olive oil into the bowl and mix well to form a paste.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow
dish and evenly spread the marinade over them.

coated with the marinade on both sides.

c. Taste the salsa and add salt to your
preference, stirring to incorporate it.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
5. Once the grill is hot, place the
marinated chicken breasts on the grill.
a. Cook the chicken breasts for
approximately 6-8 minutes per side.
b. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the
internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
c. Flip the chicken breasts halfway through
the cooking process for even cooking and beautiful grill marks.
6. Once the chicken breasts are cooked
through, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to
retain their juices.
