In a bowl, combine minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has beautiful grill marks.

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides like rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
