Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a shallow dish, combine first 7 ingredients (cayenne pepper through black pepper). Dredge chicken in seasoning mixture; set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat; add seasoned chicken and cook until seasoning is blackened; turn and cook until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve chicken on burger buns topped with lettuce and a slice of tomato.
