Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper.
- Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about ½ inch thick. This ensures even cooking and better absorption of the spices.
- In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, turmeric powder, dried coriander, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a uniform spice blend.
- Rub the chicken breasts evenly with the spice blend, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub it in to help the spices stick and add flavor.
- Let the chicken sit with the spice blend and olive oil for at least 15-20 minutes at room temperature. If you have more time, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill, skillet, or oven to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C for the oven).
- If using a grill or skillet, lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Cook the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes to retain its juices.
- Slice or serve whole with your favorite side dishes such as rice, naan, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Cook the chicken on medium-high heat to get a nice char and ensure that it's cooked through.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or basmati rice to complete the meal.
