Blackened Chicken and Side Dishes
Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Blackened Chicken
1. Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Drizzle olive oil into the skillet.
2. Cook the Chicken
2. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until they are blackened and cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F). Remove from skillet and let rest.
3. Make the Warm Potato Salad
3. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then cut into halves or quarters.
4. Cook the Bacon
4. In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble the bacon, leaving the drippings in the pan.
5. Combine Potato Salad Ingredients
5. In a bowl, mix the potatoes with crumbled bacon, green onions, and horseradish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Prepare the Creamy Coleslaw
6. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
7. Serve
