Ingredients  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Chipotle Chili powder - add more if you like it spicy
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • In a bowl, baking pan or ziplock bag, mix all seasoning ingredients well. Add the chicken making sure that it is evenly coated.
  • You can leave this to marinate for a few hours or overnight. The longer you let it marinate, the deeper the flavor.
  • Bake at 350 degrees or grill until the chicken reaches 160 degrees (approximately 8-10 minutes per side or 16-20 minutes total in the oven). Let it rest off the heat for about 5 minutes before cutting it.
