Let's make it!

Perfect for weeknights, this dish is ready in just 30 minutes.

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C, and line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. Preheat a cast iron pan as you prep the chicken: slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into halves, and pound them to an even thickness.

2

Make the seasoning mix, in a small bowl combine the paprika with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne, and salt. Set aside.

3

Using a pastry brush, brush the chicken cutlets with melted butter on both sides, then generously season them with the seasoning mix, and transfer them to the prepared sheet pan.

4

When the cast iron pan is screaming hot, add the remaining butter, then lay the chicken. Cook for 1 minute on each side. Then transfer to the 2nd clean prepared sheet pan.

5

Continue to cook the chicken in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken registers 165°F/74°C.

6

Allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice and serve over rice, in tacos, salads… with a squeeze of fresh lime juice!
