Easyblackenedchicken Recipes

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 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:

• Cook the penne, then drain and set aside.
• Place olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and add chicken; cook until cooked through, turning chicken halfway through. Remove from pan and slice into bite-sized pieces. Return chicken pieces to pan with mushrooms, tomatoes, green onions and minced garlic. Saute together while tossing occasionally for 2 minutes. Add heavy cream, Parmesan, Creole seasoning and noodles to chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring frequently to heat noodles and melt cheese. Taste and add more Creole seasoning until it's just right. If you are brave enough to toss all the ingredients in the pan, do it! We love to catch the flame just right and it creates a wonderful show for the guests to watch.

Steps:

• In a large skillet combine the Worcestershire sauce and ground black pepper. Add the chicken and simmer over medium heat until the sauce begins to boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn chicken occasionally, spooning sauce over it. The sauce will thicken. Let cool and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 min. Turn; top with 2 Tbsp. cheese.
• Bake 10 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF). Meanwhile, mix remaining cheese, sour cream, mayo, milk and seasonings until blended.
• Cut chicken into strips. Cover platter with salad greens; top with chicken and dressing.

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:

• Turn oven of 275°F.
• Place chicken breasts under plastic wrap and pound out evenly with a rolling pin (I use an empty champagne bottle- works like a charm).
• Place a cast iron or other sturdy frying pan on high heat. Let heat for about 5 or 6 minutes until VERY hot.
• Meanwhile coat both sides of chicken with melted butter (I like to use clarified) and sprinkle one fourth of the cayenne and blackening seasoning over the top side of your chicken.
• Place ONE chicken breast in the pan, seasoning side down. Place a sheet of tin foil over chicken breast and use either a heavy cast iron pot/pan or a pot filled with 5 lbs of rice to weigh down on the tin foil covered breast. Let sit and seer for 1 1/2 minutes being careful not to go over. Lift weight and tin foil. Sprinkle another fourth of cayenne and blackening seasoning on top of unseasoned side of breast. Flip breast over. Re-apply tin foil flipped raw/wet side up) and reapply weight for an additional 1 1/2 minutes to cook other side.
• Remove breast from the pan and place in the oven in a glass dish.
• Repeat with second breast. Once the second breast is done let it sit in the oven for about 10 minutes and it's ready to serve.
• Goes great in salads or with grilled veggies like zucchini and red bell peppers. Garlic mash potatoes are also a great paring. Pasta alfredo too!
• I use this same method with steaks and catfish.
• You can add hot sauce of your choice to melted butter if you REALLY like it spicy.
