I liked this blackened chicken- it was perfectly seasoned. I didn't use the melted butter though, but it still turned out fine. The chicken was tender and the blackened crust that formed on the outside was great. I served this on top of mashed sweet potatoes, and the two dishes really went well together.

This is so good and easy/quick. DH, DD (toddler) and I enjoyed it. I definitely used the melted butter (unsalted), garlic salt, to taste as that is what I had on hand, I fried some onion on the side of the chicken in my cast iron pan which worked well instead of adding onion powder which I did not have, I used cayenne pepper to taste, no additional salt because of using garlic salt, no white pepper, freshly ground black pepper, and marjoram in place of dried thyme per preference. I served this with a tasty rice dish, yogurt with a bit of sea salt added, and a fresh salad. I will definitely make this again as a quick meal. Made for, Please Review My Recipe: from 10 July 2011 ~
