About Blackened chicken

Blackened Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in Cajun cuisine, originating from Louisiana. It is made by coating chicken breasts with a bold mix of spices such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, and oregano, then searing it in a hot skillet until the spices form a dark, caramelized crust. This cooking method seals in juices while delivering a smoky, robust taste. Blackened Chicken is protein-rich, making it a great choice for building lean muscle or staying fuller longer. Depending on preparation, it can be low in fat, especially if cooked without excess oil or butter. However, sodium levels may be high due to the spice blend, so it’s ideal for those monitoring salt intake to adapt the seasoning. With minimal carbohydrates, it’s suited for low-carb and keto diets, while pairing well with vegetables or whole grains for added nutritional balance.
