Lemon Cumin Grilled Chicken Breast
Instructions:
- A touch of aromatic cumin and a citrus punch take basic grilled
chicken to the next level.
- 1 1/4 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Put the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound it slightly with a mallet or rolling pin so it is an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- In a small bowl, combine the cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub the chicken breasts on both sides with olive oil and then rub the spice mixture on both sides.
- Spray a grill or nonstick grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken until grill marks have formed and the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove from the heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into V2-inch-thick slices and drizzle with the lemon juice. The chicken will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
