Instructions

Combine all the dry seasoning in a small bowl. Season both sides of the chicken with the dry seasoning mix.
Heat a heavy duty grill pan to high heat for about 2-3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-high and add the oil to the pan and make sure the entire pan is coated with oil.
Add the chicken breasts to pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving, until the undersides develop dark grill marks. Flip the chicken breasts using a pair of tongs or a fork and cook the other side for 5-6 minutes.
Turn off heat and allow chicken breasts to rest in pan for at least 5 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with lemon or lime before serving (optional).

Notes

* Optional: pound chicken breasts to even thickness using a meat tenderizer or a rolling-pin.
