Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Lime wedges, for serving (optional)
Directions
Combine 2 tablespoons oil with garlic, cumin, cinnamon, lime juice, salt and pepper. Toss chicken breasts in this mixture. Marinate, refrigerate, for 1 hour to overnight. (In some regions, the chicken breasts are pounded thin before marinating. They’re not as pretty, but they absorb lots of flavor!)
Heat remaining oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat and sear chicken until it is deep golden on each side. Reduce the heat and continue cooking until the internal temperature is 165° F, 5 to 6 minutes to a side. (You may also grill the chicken over hot coals for 5 to 6 minutes to a side or until cooked through.)
Let chicken rest for about 5 minutes then cut each breast into 4 to 6 medallions on the diagonal. Serve with wedges of lime for a garnish.
