1 ½ tablespoon/20ml Sherry wine vinegar
Toast cumin in a dry pan. Heat olive oil. Remove from heat and stir in all ingredients. Let sit to cool.
Place chicken breasts in a shallow bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour enough marinade to come ½ way up chicken. Turn to coat. Let sit for at least ½ hour. Remove from marinade. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in enough olive oil to just cover the bottom of the pan. Place chicken in the pan and cook 3-4 minutes per side or juices run clear.
