This recipe, inspired by Pan-Asian cuisine, combines the freshness of lemon, the warmth of cumin, and the aromatic tenderness of rosemary. Marinated chicken breasts are infused with citrus notes and a spicy bouquet of spices, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. After marination, the chicken becomes tender, and grilling gives it an appetizing golden crust with a hint of smokiness. The dish is perfect for a light summer dinner or picnic, and its versatility allows it to be paired with rice, fresh vegetables, or exotic sauces. With its simplicity in preparation and minimal marination time, this recipe will become a favorite among those who appreciate vibrant flavors and juicy textures.
