Blackened Chicken

Tasty, low Calorie, and low carb equals one nice recipe! This would make a great grilled chicken breast also or with a nice Butterfly Chop. From the allrecipe web site.

Ingredients:
1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
1/8 Teaspoon Ground White Pepper
1/8 Teaspoon Onion Powder
2 Skinless, boneless chicken breast
halves

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Heat a cast iron skillet or regular skillet over high heat for 5 minutes.

2. 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

3. 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.

4. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.

  2. I have diabetes 2 so I try to add Cinnamon where ever I can. Cinnamon has been proven to help keep diabetes under control. Thank you for your interest!
