Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams, cubed
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
