Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1/2 teaspoon if you like more heat
  • 3/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together all spices until well combined; set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Liberally season chicken with seasoning blend. Carefully place chicken in skillet. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
  3. Remove chicken from skillet to a cutting board, and let rest until cool enough to handle. Chop chicken into small pieces and use for your tacos, burritos, tostadas, or chimichangas.
