Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the blackened seasoning.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with the blackened seasoning, pressing it into the meat to ensure it sticks.

  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving.
  6. Enjoy the blackened chicken on its own or use it to top a salad, stuff it into a wrap, or serve it alongside your favorite side dishes.
