Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Chicken breast 2 six ounce pieces
  • 2 teaspoons Butter melted
  • 4 teaspoons Blackened seasoning divided
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fr.
  • Lightly brush chicken breast with 1 teaspoon of melted butter each.
  • Sprinkle approximately 2 teaspoons of blackened seasoning over each chicken breast and rub so it coats the chicken.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
  • Once the pan is really hot add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Do not flip the chicken over until the side facing down has started to blacken.
  • Once your chicken is blackened move the skillet into the oven and let it cook at 350 degrees F for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Notes

Blackened seasoning will make the chicken turn dark as it cooks. Don’t panic, it’s not burnt, that is what it is supposed to do. It also can get a little smokey as it cooks so be prepared.
