Ingredients

  • 3 lbs (1 1/2 kg) Chicken breast
  • 2 to 3 medium-sized zucchini, diced
  • 8 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Oregano
  • 1 tablespoon smoked Paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin Powder
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice, more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Flakes
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Olive Oil
  • Salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. Combine paprika, cumin, chicken stock, lemon juice, onion powder, oregano, garlic, chili flakes, and olive oil in a bowl. Adjust salt and lemon to taste.

2. Coat chicken breasts with the mixture, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. When ready to cook, remove chicken from marinade.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet. Cook chicken on both sides until internal temperature reaches 165ºF (74ºC), about 15 minutes. Keep warm.
