This dish is sure to make you feel at home after a busy summer day. We paired our spiced chicken with cheesy scalloped potatoes and a side of fresh asparagus. This is the perfect budget-friendly meal that also tastes amazing.

Ingredients: 

• Chicken breasts
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive oil
• Cumin
• Chili powder
• Paprika
• Scalloped potatoes (we used an easy Betty Crocker mix)

Instructions:

1. Start with getting your chicken breasts nicely marinated with your spices 
2. In a medium sized bowl, mix your spices (paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper) with the chicken breasts and drizzle some olive oil
3. Let your chicken sit for about 20 minutes to let the spices do their magic
4. While your chicken breasts are marinating, grab a small pot and boil cold water for your asparagus
5. When the water begins to boil, place the asparagus in the pot to a roiling boil with a pinch of salt (cook until tender)
6. In another small pot, follow the instructions on the Betty Crocker mix to make your easy scalloped potatoes
7. Your chicken breasts are ready for cooking now!
8. Grab a large pan and get it nice and hot
