Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • ½ cup orange juice

Directions

  1. Combine the salt, pepper, hot paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spices on the chicken using all of the spice mixture.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in the hot oil for 4 minutes. Turn the chicken, and lower heat to medium-low. Pour in the orange juice; simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Serve the chicken with a bit of the pan sauce spooned over the each piece.

Cook's Notes:

Chicken broth can be used instead of the orange juice for a less sweet dish.

Chicken thighs work well in this dish also.
