Thin out the chicken breast to an even, flat size by butterflying it with a knife (cutting it open like a book). Season evenly with salt on all sides, then generously cover all sides with a generous coating of the spices.

Preheat a pan or griddle over high heat. Once smoking, add enough oil to coat the cooking surface. Add the chicken to the pan, then allow to undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a deeply crust.

Flip to the other side. Remove from the heat once the bottom has also developed a crust and the internal temperature of the breast reaches 155°F/68°C. Set aside.
