Ingredients

2.5 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
In a bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the spice mixture; store the rest in an airtight container for future use.
Thoroughly rub the reserved 3 tablespoons of the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring even coverage.
Grill the chicken on the preheated grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when inserted into the thickest part of the breast.
