Blackened Chicken Breasts Recipes

Steps:

• Freeze chicken and sandwich rolls until ready to serve.
• Mix spices and store in a covered container; label it "Blackened Chicken Spices".
• To prepare, thaw rolls and chicken.
• Coat each piece of chicken with spice mix (adjust to taste of each person, as the mixture is spicy!).
• Using a pastry brush, baste each piece of chicken with the melted butter. Grill chicken, basting with butter after turning once.
• Grill about 10 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle, or cook in a large nonstick skillet in hot oil over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
• Serve on sandwich rolls spread with butter or mayonnaise.
• Suggested sides: chips, watermelon salad.

Steps:

• Mix all dry spices in a medium bowl, large enough to also use to coat the chicken.
• Dip both sides of the chicken breasts in the mixture of spices, coating well.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Once hot, gently place the chicken breasts in hot oil and cook for about two minutes.
• Once well blackened (yes, they will be a little black but don't worry), turn the breasts over and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove chicken from pan.
• To serve, cut chicken breasts into 3/4-inch slices on an angle and fan out on plate.
• For a quick and easy topping, mix sour cream, cilantro, salt and pepper together in a small bowl with a whisk and top each serving with a spoonful.
• Note: Like beef, chicken should rest for a few minutes before cutting or serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and the meat to relax and become more tender.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes until it is smoking hot.
• Mix together the paprika, salt, cayenne, cumin, thyme, white pepper, and onion powder. Oil the chicken breasts with cooking spray on both sides, then coat the chicken breasts evenly with the spice mixture.
• Place the chicken in the hot pan, and cook for 1 minute. Turn, and cook 1 minute on other side. Place the breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and sambal. Add the raspberries, pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, red onion, cilantro and mint and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, ensuring flavors are well blended.
• Rinse the chicken breasts, pat dry with a paper towels, then generously coat with the blackening seasoning. In a large heavy-bottom pan, over medium-high heat, add the grapeseed oil and allow the oil to heat. Carefully add the chicken, cover and cook for 4 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and turn the chicken over. Repeat the cooking process until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, normally taking 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan to a serving platter to allow it to rest and finish cooking. When the temperature reaches 165 degrees F serve with the fruit salsa.

Steps:

• Mix the seven spices (will fill a 3-inch salt shaker). Save for future use.
• Sprinkle over chicken to cover both sides.
• Heat oil in cast iron skillet for 15 minutes. I do this on low heat and turn up last few minutes.
• Place chicken in hot pan and cook till dark in color, about 4 minutes per side, till juices are clear.

Steps:

• Let the chicken come to room temperature before using.
• Cover chicken with butter until well coated.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
• Roll each chicken breast into about 1/2 tsp. seasoning mix (I use my hands).
• Immediately place the chicken pieces skin side down in the skillet to sear.
• Pour about 1 teaspoon of the butter on top.
• Cook about 2+ minutes, until a crust forms on the underside.
• Turn and pour another 1 teaspoon of the butter on each of the chicken pieces.
• Cook until just cooked through.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix together all the blackening spices.
• Toss the chicken in the spices, making sure that each fillet is evenly coated.
• Heat a large heavy based frying pan over high heat until very hot.
• Add the oil and fry chicken fillets on each side.
• You want the chicken to fry quite fast so that you sear and roast the spices very well.
• Don't be tempted to add too many pieces to the pan at once or you will not get the desired effect.
• When the fillet is well seared, place on a roasting tray and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• Serve the chicken on a platter garnished with a few salad leaves.

Steps:

• Set up a grill for indirect cooking over medium-high (see note below). Clean and lightly oil hot grill. In a bowl, combine paprika, ground pepper, salt, cayenne, oregano, thyme, garlic, and oil; rub on chicken.
• Grill chicken, skin side down, directly over heat source until skin is browned, about 4 minutes. Flip chicken; move to cooler side of grill. Cover grill and cook chicken until cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil. Let chicken rest 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the paprika, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, thyme, lemon-pepper, cayenne and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon pepper; sprinkle over both sides of chicken. Set aside. , In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, water, vinegar and remaining sugar, salt and pepper; cover and refrigerate 1 cup for serving. Save remaining sauce for basting., Grill chicken, covered, over indirect medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°, basting frequently with remaining sauce. Serve with reserved sauce.

Steps:

• Combine paprika, thyme, cumin, cayenne pepper, onion powder, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Transfer spice mixture to a flat plate.
• Rub oil over each chicken breast until fully coated. Roll each piece of chicken in blackening spice mixture, making sure to press down so spice sticks on all sides. Let sit for 5 minutes while you preheat the air fryer.
• Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
• Place chicken in the basket of the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
