Blackened Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken breast
- Olive oil

- 2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic
Instructions
- Combine spices and transfer to shallow dish.
- Slice each chicken breast in half. Pat dry.
- Brush both sides of each chicken breast half with olive oil.
- Dip both sides of each half of chicken breast in spice mix.
- Heat grill to 500 degrees. Once it reaches 500 degrees, turn it down to 450 degrees (this is the trick for cooking thin chicken, cook it high and fast).

- Place chicken in skillet. Grill 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.
