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