Cajun-Style Blackened Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • cooking spray
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components. Preheat the oven to its optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Apply a non-stick coating to a baking sheet using cooking spray.
2
Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet over extremely high heat until it reaches a scorching temperature, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
3
Concurrently, combine paprika, cayenne, cumin, thyme, onion powder, white pepper, and salt in a small container. Mix these ingredients thoroughly.
4
Spray chicken breasts on both sides with cooking spray, then evenly distribute the spice mixture onto the chicken.
5
Introduce the chicken into the hot pan and cook for 1 minute. Rotate, then cook an additional minute on the other side. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and its juices flow freely, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
