Ingredients:

• 1/2 tsp. of paprika
• 1/8 tsp. of salt
• 1/4 tsp. of cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp. of ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp. of dried thyme
• 1/8 tsp. of ground white pepper
• 1/8 tsp. of onion powder
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease baking sheet. Heat large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is smoking hot and just short of the point at which you see white ash (about 5-8 minutes).
• Mix together the all of the herbs/spices. Spray each piece of chicken with cooking spray on both sides, then coat chicken evenly with spice mixture.
• Place chicken in hot pan, and cook about 1 minute. Turn after 1 minute and cook the other side. Place breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven about 5 minutes or until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
• Note : Blackening should be done either outdoors or in a commercial kitchen. The process creates an incredible amount of smoke that will set off your own and your neighbors’ smoke alarms.
