Ingredients

• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (can even used smoked paprika)

Directions

• Heat up a cast iron skillet over high heat until it is SMOKING - approx. 4-5 minutes
• Place the chicken in the skillet and let it cook for 2 minutes or until a nice black crust has formed.
• Flip and repeat.
• Place the chicken carefully in the oven and cook until the juices run clear or a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees.
