Cumin Chicken

I know it has been about two months since I last posted. I have been super busy with work and Grant and I have started working out. So by the time we're done with that and I've done whatever housework I needed to that day I'm so exhuasted I just want to sit in front of the TV and not think. I have many recipes I want to share with you but for this post I'm going with Cumin Chicken. I found this recipe a month or so ago and have made it again since. I was a little skeptical at first because it is so simple, I wasn't sure if it would be anything other dull. I was pleasantly shocked whenever I tried it and it exploded with flavor. It is super juicy, very easy, uses few ingredients and takes about 20 minutes to make two servings, which is hard to beat.


Ingredients:

2 Boneless Chicken Breasts, pound to about 1/2" thick
1 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Rosemary
1 tsp Olive Oil
Non-Stick Spray

1.  Spray medium skillet liberally with non-stick spray and heat on medium-high heat
2.  Mix together cumin, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary in very small bowl.
3. Cover all sides of halved chicken breasts with olive oil (1/4 tsp per half)
4. Rub spice mixture on all halves.
5. Place chicken in hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and white throughout.
Note: If the outside of the chicken is starting to burn but the inside is still pink, place in a preheated oven (350 degrees) with aluminum foil place LIGHTLY over the top of chicken until white throughout.

Prep Time: 5 min.
Cook Time: 20 min.
Servings: 2
