Step 1

Slice the chicken through the equator to create 4 fillets. Cover the fillets with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet, side of a can or rolling pin to an even thickness, about ½-inch.

Step 2

Mix all of the Blackening Seasonings together in a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry and lightly coat with olive oil. Season both sides of the chicken with the remaining Blackening Seasonings and rub it in a bit.

Step 3

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons oil in a large, heavy bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until blackened and cooked to 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and wait at least 5 minutes before slicing or chopping the chicken.
