Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- zest and juice of one orange
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried mustard
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut in half length-wise
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients, except the chicken to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined.
- Next, add the chicken breast to the marinade and toss until well coated. Cover the bowl with food storage wrap and place in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the fridge. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the chicken breast and cook for 5 minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown and internal temperature is 165 degrees. Depending on the size of the skillet, you’ll likely have to do this in batches. Feel free to rinse the skillet in between batches to prevent burning. After the chicken has cooked, remove it from the skillet and let rest for five minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
