This blend of spices is amazing! I multiply the recipe by 10 and store the mixture in a little ziploc bag. That way when i want some delicious chicken, all i have to do is brush on some olive oil and sprinkle some of this seasoning mix on. I bake it in the oven instead (350 degrees for about 40-45 min, depending on how thick the chicken breast is), because I don't have a grill.

My husband absolutely loved this chicken recipe. It had a kick, but it wasn't too spicy. We didn't feel like heating the grill the next time we made it, so we baked it at 350 degrees in the oven for about 40 minutes. It was good that way too, but the grill was better.
