Cumin and Paprika Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

• 4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 4 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• ½ cup olive oil
• 4 lemons, juiced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced

Method

1. 1Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, then add the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
3. 3Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken, turning to coat, then let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
4. 4Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off, and grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
5. 5Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate, then squeeze the lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with garlic.
6. 6Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute and the flavors to meld together.
7. 7Serve the grilled chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a side of grilled vegetables, if desired.
