I was looking for a quick and simple way to add some zip to my boneless skinless chicken breast dinner. I'm glad I came across your recipe! I baked the chicken breasts at 400° in a mixture of evoo and butter. I rubbed both the top and bottom sides with your rub and basted the breasts as they rested. I didn't think I would eat an entire breast, as they were a bit big, but that was not the case! I'll be mixing up a full batch of rub to have on hand. Thanks for a quick and tasty dinner!!
