Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
3. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the marinade. Place them in a baking dish and drizzle with lemon juice and zest.
4. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear.
5. While the chicken is baking, prepare the date relish. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped dates, red onion, apple cider vinegar, orange zest, and juice. Stir in the chopped mint leaves and season with salt to taste.
6. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes. Serve each chicken breast with a generous spoonful of zesty date relish on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
