Ingredients

Chicken Breast	4
Cumin	1 tsp
Garlic	3 cloves, minced
Greek Yogurt	½ cup
Lemon	1, juiced
Olive Oil	2 tbsp
Paprika	1 tsp
Salt	1 tsp

Instructions

In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and olive oil until combined.
Score chicken breasts with shallow cuts — this helps the marinade penetrate deeper.
Add chicken to marinade and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. The longer the better.
When ready to cook, remove chicken from fridge 15 minutes early to take the chill off.
Preheat grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat.
Cook chicken 6–7 minutes per side, pressing down gently to maximize contact.
Rest 5 minutes before slicing — this is non-negotiable or all the juices will run out.
Internal temp should read 165°F.
