Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub this spice mix evenly over 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F; remove and keep warm.
  3. Step 3: While the chicken cooks, preheat a broiler on high. Place 4 halved roma tomatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with foil. Broil for 5-6 minutes until the skins are charred and blistered.
  4. Step 4: Remove tomatoes from broiler and finely chop. In a bowl, mix the chopped tomatoes with 1 small finely diced red onion, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp honey, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Stir to combine.
  5. Step 5: Serve the pan-seared chicken topped with a generous spoonful of the charred tomato relish for a smoky and tangy contrast.
