How to Make Quick And Easy Blackened Chicken

  3. Generously coat both sides of the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture, ensuring full coverage.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (or preheat your grill to medium-high).
  5. Place the chicken breasts in the hot skillet (or on the grill) and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
