Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your broiler on high. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Broil the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts on a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet. Broil for 6-8 minutes on one side, then flip and broil for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Add the Chile Sauce

    During the last 2 minutes of broiling, spoon the red or green chile sauce over the chicken breasts to warm through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the broiler and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair with rice or beans as desired.
