1-Getting Started with the Marinade: First, prepare the marinade by mixing 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, and the salt and pepper in a bowl. This step infuses the chicken with those vibrant Moroccan flavors, so give it a good whisk!

2-Getting Started with the Marinade: Once mixed, place the 4 (6 oz) chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, press out the air, and rub it in well. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours up to 8 hours for even better taste. This is where the magic happens, as the spices really sink in.

3-Grilling to Perfection: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 425°F, and lightly oil the grates to keep things from sticking. Take the chicken out of the fridge and let it sit for about 10 minutes to reach room temperature this helps it cook evenly.

4-Grilling to Perfection: Now, grill the chicken for about 4 minutes per side until it hits 165°F inside. For vegan swaps, grill 400g firm tofu or tempeh slices for 3-4 minutes per side until they’re crisp. Once done, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, and sprinkle on extra cilantro for a fresh finish.
