Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken cubes in the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
