Ingredients
1 thawed chicken breast
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 pinch salt
1 dash garlic powder
Directions
Pat the thawed chicken breast dry with paper towels. This helps it brown evenly and cook through properly.
In a small bowl, combine the chilli powder, salt, and garlic powder. Mix until well blended.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breast, coating it completely.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the seasoned chicken breast in the pan.
Cook the chicken for 9-10 minutes on the first side without moving it, allowing it to develop a nice color.
Flip the chicken breast and cook for another 8-10 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part.
Remove from heat and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
