Notes

  • Use an instant read thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked through, it should register at 165F. The chicken breasts should be an even white color throughout.
  • Let the breasts rest under some tented foil for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • If you like things spicy, try adding a little cayenne to the seasoning mix.
