1 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

1 small fresh hot chili, such as Thai or Serrano, minced (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro - optional
Fresh limes, cut into wedges - optional

Mix all remaining ingredients except chicken, fresh cilantro and limes.
Place chicken in a large bowl or ziploc bag. Cover with marinade - setting some aside for later.
Chill in the refrigerator for up to two hours.
Once you are ready to cook the chicken, remove each breast from the marinade.
