Blackened Chicken

This is a quick dish made with lean chicken breasts generously coated with a cajun style seasoning, and it's pan seared in a hot cast iron pan for a light blackened char. And of course for a hint of richness we finish them with butter!

Sprinkle both sides of each piece of chicken evenly with spice mixture.

Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and coat bottom of skillet.

Place chicken in skillet and cook until slightly blackened on bottom, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until chicken has cooked through (165 degrees in center), about ⏱️ 4 minutes longer. If needed at any time during cooking you can reduce burner temperature to medium if chicken is becoming too dark before cooking through.

Plate chicken and drizzle with butter. If desired you can garnish with a little chopped fresh parsley.
