4skinlessboneless chicken breast halvesnot 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
Make sure your chicken breasts aren't too thick, or they won't cook on the inside properly without burning the spices too much
