Blackened Chicken

Step 1

Let the chicken come to room temperature before using.

Step 2

Cover chicken with butter until well coated.

Step 3

Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot.

Step 4

Roll each chicken breast into about 1/2 tsp. seasoning mix (I use my hands).

Step 5

Immediately place the chicken pieces skin side down in the skillet to sear.

Step 6

Pour about 1 teaspoon of the butter on top.

Step 7

Cook about 2+ minutes, until a crust forms on the underside.

Step 8

Turn and pour another 1 teaspoon of the butter on each of the chicken pieces.

Step 9

Cook until just cooked through.
