Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pat the chicken breasts dry and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides.
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is golden and releases easily. Flip and cook for another 5–6 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then shred or slice thinly.
