Put a little Bobby into your Filet!

Ok....so, this has NOTHING to do with filets..he he....just BOBBY FLAY!!! Last year we saw Bobby Flay make a recipe on a Food Network special with a rubbed chicken with a pesto-mint sauce. Well, we weren't too fond of the mint sauce, but we LOVE the spice-rubbed chicken! It's a wonderful go-to meal if you are in a hurry, and it's oh-so healthy!

Spanish Spice-Rubbed Chicken

1 Tb spanish paprika
1 Tb smoked paprika
2 tsp cumin seeds, ground
2 tsp mustard seeds, ground
2 tsp fennel seeds, ground
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
2 tsp kosher salt

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Olive Oil


Directions:

1. Preheat your grill to high.

2. Whisk together the paprika, cumin, mustard, fennel, pepper and salt in a small bowl.

3. Brush the chicken with a few teaspoons of oil on both sides.

4. Rub the breasts on the skin side (I use skinless---rub onto the "smooth" side, if that makes sense) with some of the rub and place on the grill, rub side down.

5. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the breasts over and continue cooking until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.

6. Transfer the chicken to a platter and let rest 5 minutes.

We serve ours with some pesto on top, or on a bun with a little bbq sauce. DELICIOUS, and oh so easy!! Make a little extra of the rub ( you will have extra anyways--the recipe makes quite a bit), put in a ziplock bag, and store in your cupboard---then when you need a quick, easy, and low-cal meal, it's just a few minutes away :-)
