Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless chicken breasts, flattened to about 1/2 inch thick
1 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sugar (If you want to jazz up the butter a bit, add a dash or two of tabasco!=0)

Steps:

  • Let the chicken come to room temperature before using.
  • Cover chicken with butter until well coated.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
  • Roll each chicken breast into about 1/2 tsp. seasoning mix (I use my hands).
  • Immediately place the chicken pieces skin side down in the skillet to sear.
  • Pour about 1 teaspoon of the butter on top.
  • Cook about 2+ minutes, until a crust forms on the underside.
  • Turn and pour another 1 teaspoon of the butter on each of the chicken pieces.
  • Cook until just cooked through.
