Blackened Grilled Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in Cajun cuisine, known for its bold spices and smoky char. This entrée features boneless chicken breasts coated in a robust blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. The chicken is seared at high heat to achieve its signature blackened crust while retaining moist, tender meat. Grilling reduces added fats, making it a lean protein option, rich in essential nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and phosphorus. Low in carbohydrates, it suits various dietary preferences, including keto and paleo. However, depending on preparation, sodium content from the spice mix can be high, so moderation is key for those watching their intake. Blackened Grilled Chicken pairs well with steamed vegetables, whole grains, or fresh salads for a balanced, wholesome meal steeped in Southern tradition.
