Paprika, salt, and garlic powder are the three key seasonings for this quick and easy blackened chicken.
You can also blacken the chicken using a grill, but I really like the results I get from a seasoned skillet. Just warm the skillet on a stove top and let the chicken sear until it starts to turn black on each side.
To build a meal from this recipe, I usually gather some chopped romaine lettuce and build a salad, along with avocado slices, pico de gallo, yogurt or cultured sour cream, and guacamole. Another option is to create a blackened chicken bowl (similar to this blackened salmon bowl). And sometimes I just eat it with some salsa or pico de gallo and some yogurt or cultured sour cream (as in the photos).
