For the Skillet:

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the spice blend in a small bowl. Rub the spice blend over all of the chicken pieces. Place in a ziplock bag in the fridge to marinate for an hour, up to overnight.
