Spice Mix
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Turmeric

Instructions
- Mix all the spices together.
- Cut the chicken along the middle of the breast and open the chicken in a pan, then season well on all sides with the spice mixture.
- Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or even longer to allow the chicken to absorb well the flavor from the spice mixture.
