Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the spice mixture. Set aside.

Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create 4 thinner chicken fillets.

Rub the blackened seasoning over both sides of the chicken.

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet or cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side or until blackened and cooked through.
