2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper

¼ Tsp Ground Cumin

1 ½ Tsp of each Salt & Black Pepper

Serves 6

Preparation: 4 minutes

Cooking: 10-15 Minutes

Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally, making two pieces of about the same thickness.

Flatten them slightly with the heel of your hand.

Put the butter in a small frying pan and melt over a low heat. DO NOT LET IT BROWN.

Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl, brush both side of the chicken with the butter. Sprinkle over the seasoning mix evenly.

Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over a high heat for about 5-8 minutes, until a drop of water sprinkled on the surface sizzles.

Drizzle 1 Tsp of the melted butter onto each piece of chicken, place them in the frying pan a few at a time.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until the underside begins to blacken.

Turn the chicken over and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes more.

Until the chicken is cooked all the way through.
