Ingredients
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 Tbsp blackening seasoning
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
Instructions
- Filet the chicken or pound out flat so that it will cook more evenly.
- Place the chicken on a plate. Rub 1 Tbsp of the vegetable oil onto both side of the chicken breasts.
- Spoon the homemade blackened seasoning over the chicken and spread around onto the chicken (on both sides). I use ½ tablespoon per piece of chicken (adjust based on your preference). The more you use, the spicier it will be and the less you use the milder it will be.
- Heat up a cast iron skillet so it is hot and spread the remaining vegetable oil onto the bottom of the pan.
- Place the chicken on the hot cast iron pan and let it cook for 5-6 minutes. Time it and don’t move the chicken, so it can get that beautiful blackened crust on it.
- Flip and cook another 5-6 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F.
- Remove and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
