Begin by heating olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook until it achieves a golden brown color, ensuring it's evenly seared on all sides.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside. In the same pan, add the spices and toast them lightly to release their aromatic flavors.
