Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (plain flour)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • oil, for cooking
  • 2 pats butter, or as needed

Equipment

  • Flat top grill or griddle

Directions

  • Preheat a flat top grill or griddle to medium heat.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and turmeric. Set aside.
  • Carefully slice the chicken in half to make thinner. The easiest way to do this is to place your hand on top of the chicken laid flat on a chopping board. Slowly slice below your hand parallel to the chopping board. This creates an even and thin piece of chicken that is quicker to cook.
  • Dust the chicken breasts generously with the flour mixture and lightly pat so that it sticks.
  • Add a generous amount of oil and butter to the flat top. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer, flipping once during cooking, about 12 minutes.
