Course dinner, Main Course
Cuisine Mediterranean
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika I prefer Frontier Co-op Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 2 C buttermilk
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions
 

  • In a plastic resealable bag or in a non reactive bowl combine the buttermilk, cumin, paprika, garlic, and salt.
  • Add in the chicken breasts and allow this to sit at least eight hours or overnight.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat and cook the chicken breasts. If doing over a grill I prefer to do them over the flame to get nice char marks. But then I move them to indirect heat to finish cooking.
  • It takes about four minutes per side, eight minutes total for the chicken to grill depending on the thickness. You are looking for an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  • Pull the chicken off and allow to rest on a cutting board for a few minutes. Then slice into strips and serve warm.
