Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3-4 tablespoons blackened seasoning my version is linked, or use store bought
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have 4 thinner cutlets. Pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Thoroughly coat the chicken with the blackened seasoning.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and olive oil. When the pan is hot, cook the chicken for about 5 minutes/side or until it's cooked through (165F) and a nice, dark crust develops.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 4-5 minutes prior to cutting it up or serving it.
