Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking dish or large skillet
  • Aluminum foil (if baking)
  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1 lemon sliced for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare your skillet on medium heat.
  • Mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the spice mixture.
  • If baking, place the chicken in a baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 25-30 minutes. If using a skillet, cook the chicken on each side for 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon slices.

Notes

  1. Ensure the chicken is coated evenly for the best flavor.
  2. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking to retain its juices.
  3. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness without cutting into the breasts.
  4. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with the spices and oil for at least one hour before cooking.
  5. Experiment with cooking methods: grilled Charo Chicken adds a smoky flavor that’s irresistible.
