Three Alarm Blackened Chicken

(Warning: you may want to open a window and shut off the smoke detector when preparing this dish). I received this recipe from a coworker, but I tripled the recipe to kick it up. I serve this with Alfredo and bow tie pasta. This is great dish for company and I guarantee if they love spice they will ask for it again.
