Spiced Chicken

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 chicken breast halves, boned and skinned
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Combine all seasonings on a large plate or in a pie pan. Mix to combine evenly. Rub seasonings over chicken, coating the breasts completely. You may have some of the spice mixture left over.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet (you may need a little more oil if your skillet is not nonstick). Cook the chicken over medium heat about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
3. Serve with sweet potatoes and broccoli in the fall or with corn and sliced tomatoes in the summer.
