Sweet and Spicy Chicken

I saw this recipe pop up on my Facebook feed and it looked so juicy and delicious, I had to try it.  I was curious to see if broiling it would dry it out, but I didn't find that to be the case at all.  This is a quick and easy dinner for the middle of the week when you don't feel like cooking but you are trying not to order takeout.  Give it a try!


Chicken Rub:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 -1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder* (I didn't have this, so I used Ancho Chili Powder...worked just fine)

Honey Dijon Glaze:
1/3 C honey
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice


Directions
1. Line a baking sheet with foil (not parchment paper) and lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Chicken Rub Ingredients and evenly rub all over chicken. Place chicken on prepared baking sheet.
3. Move oven rack to top position and broil chicken for 6 minutes on each side (12 minutes total).
4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the Honey Dijon Sauce ingredients.
5. Remove chicken from oven and brush top side with Honey Dijon Sauce; broil 1-2 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
6. Brush individual servings with remaining Honey Dijon Sauce as desired.
7. Enjoy!
