Grilled Cast Iron Chicken

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1.5 tsp oregano
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1.5 tbsp avocado oil

Instructions
 

  • Mix herbs and spices in a dish.
  • Slice both chicken breasts in half so they are less thick.
  • Salt & pepper chicken on one side, then generously season with spice mixture. (Optional: Pat the mixture into chicken.)
  • Flip over and repeat the step above.
  • Optional: If you have time and want to prepare a side, you can let your chicken sit with this mixture out on the counter for 10 minutes and it acts as a dry brine and soaks in the flavor of the seasoning more.
  • Heat up oil in cast iron skillet or grill pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil and pan are hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • When the internal temp comes to 165 degrees F or juices run clear, it's ready. Let it rest on a cutting board or plate for a few minutes.
  • After they are done resting, serve and enjoy. :)
