Wash and clean the chicken breast properly. Pat it dry using a paper towel. Cut it into even pieces if needed. This helps the chicken cook evenly and absorb more flavor during marination.

In a large bowl, add olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well. Add yogurt if you want extra soft chicken. This marinade gives rich Mediterranean flavor.

Add chicken pieces into the marinade. Coat them well on all sides. Cover the bowl and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. For better taste, refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Heat your grill pan or outdoor grill on medium-high heat. Lightly brush it with oil to avoid sticking. Make sure the surface is hot before placing the chicken for perfect grill marks.

Place marinated chicken on the hot grill. Cook for 5–7 minutes on each side. Press gently with tongs for even cooking. The chicken should turn golden brown with nice char marks.

Make sure the chicken is fully cooked inside. It should be juicy but not pink. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps keep the juices locked in.

Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Serve it hot with bowls, wraps, or salads. You can add sauces or fresh veggies for extra flavor and texture.
