Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 breasts Chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp Blackening seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Equipment

  • Paper towels
  • Cast-iron skillet
  • Tongs
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy crust.
Cooking
  1. Season both sides of each chicken breast generously with blackening seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and is almost smoking.
  3. Carefully place the chicken breasts in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  4. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until a dark, crusty sear forms and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the blackening seasoning for 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of blackening seasoning to your spice preference.
