How to Make Blackened Baked Chicken
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
- In an 8x8 inch glass baking dish, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Stir well to combine the marinade ingredients.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the marinade and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Coat 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) generously with Cajun seasoning.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 60 minutes for maximum flavor.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the covered chicken for 50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving over brown rice with your favorite cucumber salad.
