Blackened Chicken With Zucchini

Perfect for two (or for one with delicious lunch leftovers) This gem stems from one of the first recipes I ever learned to make: a sour cream based cream sauce with chopped zucchini, served over pasta. In an attempt to make it lighter, this is what happened...

salt
pepper
onion powder
garlic powder
oregano
thyme

6 ounces chicken breasts (one large chicken breast, cut in half)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken liberally with all the seasoning, using paprika the most. Cayenne pepper is to your liking.
