Season the Chicken
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub it in to coat evenly. Generously sprinkle the blackening spice mix over both sides of each chicken breast, ensuring they are well-coated.

Cook the Chicken
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through, has a charred black crust, and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
