Shelly’s Spicy Chicken Breasts

  

This recipe came courtesy of a Detroit Knottie friend… the lovely Shelly aka McVayDesigns

She got it from her obsession with  allrecipes.com

INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (we did 2 breasts and cut ours into bite sized pieces.)

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, and ground black pepper. Set aside about 3 tablespoons of this seasoning mixture for the chicken; store the remainder in an airtight container for later use (for seasoning fish, meats, or vegetables).
Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Rub some of the reserved 3 tablespoons of seasoning onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Place chicken on the grill, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear.

Warnings!!!
This is HOT!!! I did 1TBSP cayenne instead of the recommended 2 and my DH STILL thought it was hot. I’m a total wimp, so I skipped it and ate leftovers instead :)
 We used 2 chicken breasts and we had about 1/3 the spice mixture left. I’d make sure to save about 1/2 before you contaminate it with the chicken. You can always add more!
