QUICK AND EASY BLACKENED CHICKEN
I find my version not only fast, but pretty fool proof. I buy my blackening seasoning. I know that might be considered "cheating" but I really like this method and I always end up with moist and flavorful chicken. You can do it outside to avoid the smoke in your house, or do it inside if you can open some windows and have good ventilation.

Steps:
- Turn oven of 275°F.
- Place chicken breasts under plastic wrap and pound out evenly with a rolling pin (I use an empty champagne bottle- works like a charm).
- Place a cast iron or other sturdy frying pan on high heat. Let heat for about 5 or 6 minutes until VERY hot.
- Meanwhile coat both sides of chicken with melted butter (I like to use clarified) and sprinkle one fourth of the cayenne and blackening seasoning over the top side of your chicken.
- Place ONE chicken breast in the pan, seasoning side down. Place a sheet of tin foil over chicken breast and use either a heavy cast iron pot/pan or a pot filled with 5 lbs of rice to weigh down on the tin foil covered breast. Let sit and seer for 1 1/2 minutes being careful not to go over. Lift weight and tin foil. Sprinkle another fourth of cayenne and blackening seasoning on top of unseasoned side of breast. Flip breast over. Re-apply tin foil flipped raw/wet side up) and reapply weight for an additional 1 1/2 minutes to cook other side.
- Remove breast from the pan and place in the oven in a glass dish.
- Repeat with second breast. Once the second breast is done let it sit in the oven for about 10 minutes and it's ready to serve.
- Goes great in salads or with grilled veggies like zucchini and red bell peppers. Garlic mash potatoes are also a great paring. Pasta alfredo too!
- I use this same method with steaks and catfish.
- You can add hot sauce of your choice to melted butter if you REALLY like it spicy.

Tips:
- For a spicier blackened chicken, increase the amount of cayenne pepper and paprika in the seasoning mixture.
- If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet instead. Just make sure to heat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the chicken.
- To prevent the chicken from sticking to the skillet, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken and don't overcrowd the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the blackened chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Blackened chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. With its crispy, flavorful crust and juicy interior, blackened chicken is a delicious and satisfying dish. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
