Prep time: 2 mins

Total time: 15 mins

Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven; preheat to 475 degrees F.
Mix cumin, turmeric, paprika, black pepper and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; set aside.
Place chicken breast between wax paper or plastic wrap (or in a plastic bag) and use a meat mallet to flatten it to about 1-inch thick. Season both sides of chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and spice rub. Remove hot skillet from oven and set over medium-high heat. Add oil, then lay chicken into pan and press chicken down against surface with spatula. Add 2 lime halves to pan with cut side down. Cook until chicken is starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and cover with aluminum foil. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping chicken over halfway through.
Remove pan from oven and let it sit in residual heat for 1 minute. Squeeze juice from cooked limes into pan; transfer chicken and pan juices to plate. Serve with remaining lime halves.
