you’ve seen the last few recipes); so, bear with me as we try another spicy masterpiece called the “blackened chicken recipe”.

Honestly, at first sight, I thought it was just grilled chicken, just a “little”
burned. But then I saw the ingredients (‘cause why not? And I wanted to
know how burned chicken breasts made their way in our cookbook). And I
was quite surprised (not “tooo” surprised; I mean I did know its name) to
find that it was a genuine recipe and the chicken was indeed blackened on
purpose.

So I searched, “blackened chicken recipe” on Google and as expected, I
found some interesting reviews. The reviews were good (mostly), so I used
the chicken breasts, all this hassle of finding a recipe was for, and “Voilà”, a tasty and fresh dish for the family.

This was a common question, I found, on the internet and I know why, I
