Blackened Chicken Breast Recipe

I didn’t feel like signing up just to rate the recipe (what’s with having to sign up for everything lately, sheesh), so I’ll rate it here: It’s very good. I had to make some changes to the recipe, for various reasons:

1. Changed paprika from 1/2 to 1/4 teaspoon
2. Skipped onion powder — I just don’t have any. :)
3. Used olive oil instead of cooking spray (don’t have any), and just spread the oil and spices on the chicken with my hands
4. Heated the oven to 375F instead of 350F
5. Bake for 14 minutes instead of 5 minutes, checking temperature after 10 — 5 minutes leaves it pretty raw. I think that was a typo, anyways.

I plan to get a small jar and mix up the oil and spices so I can just brush it on, in the future. I figure that’ll keep in the fridge forever, and save me a bunch of hand-washing between steps.
