A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken recipe with a spicy kick, perfect for a quick dinner.
Combine garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
Use your hands to press the spices into the chicken for better adherence.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
Ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.
Cook the chicken breasts on the grill pan for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the grilled chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
