Ingredients

  1. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  2. 1 Tbsp. chili powder

  5. 2 tsp. dried oregano
  6. 1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
  7. 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add almost all of the 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Brush both sides of chicken breasts with remaining oil.

This is one of my favorite recipes. I discovered it from a show called Pairings with Andrea. I serve with the Pumpkin Polenta included in the Maple Glazed Pork Chop recipe on this site. Drizzle with Balsamic glaze and a side of roasted Brussels Sprouts.
