Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until it is smoking hot, about 3 to 5 minutes.
While the skillet is heating, mix paprika, cayenne, cumin, thyme, onion powder, white pepper, and salt together in a small bowl. Spray chicken breasts on both sides with cooking spray, then coat evenly with spice mixture.
