Cooking Steps
- Start by placing boneless, skinless chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the chicken to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended.
- Rub the marinade generously over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Allow the chicken to marinate at room temperature for 15–30 minutes.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. Carefully place the marinated chicken breasts in the pan and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side.
- Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lime wedges.

Notes
Ensure chicken is pounded to an even thickness for best results. Avoid marinating over 2 hours to prevent mushiness.
