Equipment

Ingredients
- 4 medium chicken breasts, skinless, boneless
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 2 tablespoon fresh grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a cast iron skillet over medium.
- Mix all the spices and parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
- Coat each chicken breast in the spice mixture. Simply sprinkle the mixture over each side of the chicken breasts and press the mixture in, coating each side.
- Once the cast iron pan is hot, place the chicken breasts into the pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Do NOT turn the chicken breasts during this time, let it cook.
- Flip them over and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes.
- Then, place the whole pan into the oven, cook for 13 minutes until an inserted meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
Notes
Leftover chicken will be good for up to 3 days in the fridge.
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can also use any oven-safe skillet. Just be sure to check the directions for the pan that it says "oven safe".
And don't forget to keep that oven mitt standing by to get it out of the oven safely!
