Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Spray with non-stick spray or add 1 tbsp avocado oil. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice mixture. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter along with chopped onion, diced jalapeños, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
