Chicken Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season one side of each breast with blackening seasoning.

2

Fried Option

In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the seasoned side of the chicken in the flour mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, flour side down, and cook for 6-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and add butter to the skillet, cooking for an additional 6-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

3

Blackened Option

Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Place the seasoned chicken in the dry skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through.
