Ingredients
- 4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts about 6-8 oz each
- 1 teaspoon Dried or fresh basil cilantro or parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon brown or granulated sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon or lime optional
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
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).
