Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and stir together all Spice Blend ingredients.

Step 2

Pound chicken to even thickness (max 1 inch thickness at any given part).

Step 3

Rub the 2 teaspoons olive oil all over the chicken breasts. Season all over with the spice blend.

Step 4

In a large, oven-safe skillet (see note for alternate method) melt butter over medium heat and stir in 1 tablespoon oil.

Step 5

Brown chicken in the butter and oil for about 2 minutes on each side.

Step 6

Transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees in the center).

Step 7

Squeeze fresh citrus (lemon, lime, orange, or a combination of any of the three!) over baked chicken just before serving. Serve whole chicken breasts, or dice or slice chicken for use in your favorite dishes.
