Chicken Prep

• Season both sides of chicken with remaining spice mixture
• Heat a non-stick pan to medium-high
• Add remaining olive oil and allow to also reach medium-high (adding the oil to an already warmed pan heats the oil more evenly and prevents scorching. You can tell your oil is ready when it begins to glisten.)
• Place breast top side down into oil. Sear for 3 minutes until browned. Removed from heat.

Roasting

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
• Place seasoned veggies in a roasting pan or shallow baking dish
