Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Place the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt (if using) and allspice (if using) in a gallon-size zipper-top bag and seal the bag. Shake the bag to combine the spices thoroughly. (NOTE: I usually omit the onion powder and put in about a 1/2 tsp lemon pepper. I like that the best!).
  2. Place the chicken breast halves, one at a time, between two sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap and pound them with several whacks of a meat mallet or rolling pin so that they are an even 1/2 inch thick. Peel off the paper. (Each serving should be about 6 ounces, so if the breast halves are large, cut them in half lengthwise.).
  3. Place the chicken pieces in the bag with the spices, seal it, and shake until the chicken is coated with the spice mixture. Set the bag aside.
  4. Heat the oil in an extra-deep 12 inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on the first side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, another 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer the chicken to a platter and serve.
  6. A salad would be great alongside. My family's favourite is Deep Browned Potatoes (Deep Browned Potatoes) and corn.
