Spice-Rubbed Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1/4
    cup packed brown sugar
  • 2
    tablespoons paprika
  • 2
    teaspoons salt
  • 2
    teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1
    teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1
    teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2
    teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 16
    skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 5 lbs.)
  • 2
    tablespoons cooking oil
Directions

1. For spice rub, in small bowl combine brown sugar, paprika, salt, coriander, black pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Brush chicken with oil. Sprinkle chicken with spice rub on both sides. With fingers, gently rub in spice mixture. Arrange on two 15x10x1-inch baking pans. Refrigerate chicken for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Bake chicken breasts, one pan at a time, uncovered, for 18 to 20 minutes or until no longer pink (170 degrees F). (Refrigerate second pan of chicken, covered, while baking the first pan.)

3. Let chicken stand 30 minutes to cool. Individually wrap chicken breasts in waxed paper. Divide wrapped chicken among two large freezer bags, removing as much air as possible from bags. Label and freeze up to 4 months. Thaw and use for Chicken Noodle Toss with Greens, or other recipes.

I'd give this four stars but it won't let me rate it.

This is a great easy recipe with a great balance of sweet and spicy. I pan-fried mine in olive oil then served it with chopped cilantro and lime wedges. Delicious

This is awesome! I just keep some of the spice rub in my pantry for quick cooking at night. Juiciest chicken we have ever had. Also great with sweet potato fries or brown rice and broccoli!
