Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless, chicken breast 3-4 chicken breasts
1 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoons brown sugar
½ tablespoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup BBQ Sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375˚F.
Combine the chili powder, brown sugar, paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and cumin in a dish and mix together.
Rub the chicken all over with the seasoning mix.
In a large oven safe skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast to the skillet. Let cook 1-2 minutes or until seared, then flip to the other side and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
Brush BBQ sauce on both sides of the chicken, then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165˚F).
Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
*If your skillet is not oven safe, brush the chicken with BBQ sauce and transfer to a baking sheet to finish cooking in the oven.
