Juicy cast iron skillet grilled chicken

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp sweet smoked paprika powder
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/4 tsp curry powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cracked pepper
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin

Method

1. Let’s start by heating up the skillet. It has to be hot for the best results and so the chicken doesn’t stick.
2. Mix all the spices in a bowl and rub the spice mix onto the chicken.
3. Once the skillet is hot, add the olive oil and put the chicken in the pan.
   Tip: a good drizzle of olive oil is enough. The pan should be shiny, not filled with oil. We are grilling, not frying.
4. One of the most important things is to let the chicken grill! Don’t be in a hurry to flip it: the chicken is ready to flip once it no longer sticks.
5. The cooking time depends on how thick the chicken is. It usually takes me about 3–5 minutes per side.
6. When it’s almost done, take it out of the pan and wrap it in aluminium foil. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
7. Now dish it up! To make it a meal, check out some of the side dishes.
