Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil or enough to cover the bottom of your skillet
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 6 street taco shells
Blackened Seasoning
- ½ teaspoons seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Avocado Pico De Gallo
- 2 roma tomatoes chopped
- 1 Jalapeño chopped
- ½ onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 avocado peeled, cored, and cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 lime squeezed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the blackened seasoning blend.
- Preheat a large skillet or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with cooking oil.
- Sprinkle the blackened seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts, pressing it gently to adhere.
- Place the chicken breasts in the preheated skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Make sure the chicken has a dark golden brown crust before flipping. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and place chicken on a cutting board to let rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.
- Warm the tortillas according to package instructions.
- In a small bowl combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, avocado, and lime juice. Stir until well combined.
- Assemble the tacos by placing the a few pieces of the thin sliced chicken breast on each tortilla. Add the avocado pico de gallo mixture and anything else you have on hand. Serve the blackened chicken tacos immediately and enjoy!
