Pollada

This easy chicken dish requires four ingredients and can be done in about 15 minutes. It's basically a chicken rub. I learned this recipe from my Ecuadorian roommate.

Ingredients for the rub:
  • salt
  • pepper
  • paprika
  • cumin
1. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the chicken breast. You need about two parts paprika to one part cumin. You just need a dash of salt and pepper on each side. Rub the ingredients in.


2. Heat some oil on a skillet. To make sure that the skillet is hot enough I would recommend sauteeing some red onions first.

3. Place the chicken onto the hot skillet and cook it on both sides for about 2-3 minutes. You don't want the chicken to cook completely through!!!

4. After both sides have been browned put a lid over the skillet and shut off your flame. Make sure the heat doesn't escape!!! The heat needs to be trapped in the skillet to make sure that the chicken is complete cooked through.

5. Wait about 10 minutes and the chicken should be done by then.

If done correctly there shouldn't be any pink visible and you should have one of the juciest pieces of chicken breast you have ever tasted. Enjoy!
