Season and cook chicken
Pat chicken dry. In a separate bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mix onto the chicken and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Dice or slice the cooked chicken.
