Red Dirt Chicken



I grew up in Oklahoma where the dirt is a lovely red color (maybe because it has a lot of iron??).  The color of the spice blend I use with this chicken reminds me of the color of Oklahoma soil, hence the name.  I originally got the recipe from somewhere, but it has been a while, and I can't find it. 

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 tablespoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1/4 lb.)
  • 1 small papaya, sliced
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a small bowl mix paprika, salt, cumin, allspice, and cinnamon.  Coat both sides of the chicken with the spice mixture.  Put chicken in a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.  Serve with papaya.
