Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (2-3 breasts)
3 Tablespoons blackened seasoning
2 Tablespoons olive oil OR avocado oil

Instructions

Place each chicken breast in a large plastic bag or between sheets of plastic wrap, wax paper, or parchment paper. Set it on a heavy microwave-safe cutting board and pound it to an even thickness using a meat mallet, rolling pin, or heavy pan.
Add the oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then use your hands to coat them with blackened seasoning.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook on one side for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and it reaches an internal temperature of 165° F.
Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Storage & Reheating Tips

Leftover Blackened Chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, add some oil or butter to a small skillet and heat the chicken over medium heat until warmed through. You can also reheat it in the microwave at 30 second intervals, being careful not to overcook. (*For best results, use the skillet method.)
