About Skillet blackened chicken

Skillet Blackened Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in Cajun cuisine, celebrated for its bold spices and smoky aroma. This recipe features tender chicken breast coated in a robust blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, thyme, and oregano, then seared to perfection in a hot skillet. The blackened crust results from the spices caramelizing, creating a rich, savory flavor. High in protein and low in carbohydrates, this dish is an excellent choice for those seeking a balanced meal. Prepared with minimal oil, it offers a healthier alternative to fried chicken. However, the sodium content may be elevated due to the seasoning mix, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation by those managing their salt intake. Skillet Blackened Chicken pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables or a light salad, making it an energizing option that aligns with nutritious, hearty eating.
