    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

    Very Good
    I made this for dinner tonight and served with fettucine alfredo. It was quite good. I needed my stove free... so I just put all the spices in a baggie, added the chicken breast and tossed it around until it was coated. Then I grilled it. On my grill it took 20 minutes. Will make it again! - 9/9/10

    Incredible!
    This was awesome!! Cut back on the Cayenne pepper because my family is wimpy though. FYI -- 350 for 5 min, basically raw in the middle. I had to bake for 15. - 3/3/10
