Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (not too thick)
Instructions
- Remove the chicken from fridge 20-30 minutes prior to allow the meat to come to room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 375 °F.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes until it is hot.
- Mix together the spices: paprika, salt, cayenne, cumin, thyme, white pepper, and onion powder.
- Spray the chicken breasts on both sides with spray butter then coat with spice mixture and place in the skillet.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the breast begins to turn white on the sides.
- Flip and cook on the other side for the same amount of time.
- Place the skillet into the oven and bake until using an instant read thermometer the temperature reaches 165°F. Remove.
- Allow the chicken to sit for 5-6 minutes until the juices can settle within the breast, this helps prevent dry meat and allows everything to settle and the meat to moisten again.
- Serve.
Notes
- Adjust spices according to taste.
- Make sure chicken is not too thick for even cooking.
