4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6-8 oz each)

1 teaspoon Dried or fresh basil (cilantro or parsley)

1 teaspoon Dried oregano

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon brown or granulated sugar

Salt and pepper (to taste)

1 lemon or lime (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Combine all the dry seasoning in a small bowl. Season both sides of the chicken with the dry seasoning mix.
Heat a heavy duty grill pan to high heat for about 2-3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-high and add the oil to the pan and make sure the entire pan is coated with oil.
Add the chicken breasts to pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving, until the undersides develop dark grill marks. Flip the chicken breasts using a pair of tongs or a fork and cook the other side for 5-6 minutes.
Turn off heat and allow chicken breasts to rest in pan for at least 5 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with lemon or lime before serving (optional).
