Method
Preparing the Chicken

Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub the blackening spice blend all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice charred crust. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
