Remove Chicken from Refrigerator. Dry off Breasts well with Paper Towels, and lay on a Baking Sheet. Season Well with the Blackened Seasoning on Both Sides of the Chicken. Make sure they're Nice and Covered. You should have Plenty of Seasoning Leftover, which can be Stored in an Airtight Container for later.

Heat a Cast Iron Skillet to Medium/Medium High. Add a Couple Tbsp of Oil &/Or Butter. Once Nice & Hot, add Chicken. Don't Overcrowd the Pan. Just Cook 1 or 2 at a Time. Cook for @ 6 - 7 Minutes a Side. You'll need Less Time for Thinner Breasts. Check with a Thermometer to prevent Overcooking. 155° to 165° is Ideal. The Chicken will Continue to Cook some once Removed from the Pan, so you Can take them Out at 155° to 160°.

Continue to Cook all the Breasts, and then Move them to a Plate or Platter. Cover Loosely with Foil to Keep Warm. Scrape & Remove any Large bits of Food from the Skillet, & Turn to Medium Heat.

Easy chicken tacos Easy chicken tacos
I love to cook! I get creative in the kitchen all the time combining both my Spanish and Louisiana roots. I also cook the old recipes that were passed down from mother to daughter going from one generation to the next. I hope you enjoy my chicken breast tacos. The great thing about the way the chicken is prepared here is that you can add the chicken to create another dish of your own. Please add more salt, minced serono pepper, Tony's, Louisiana hot sauce, extra cumin, or whatever you like. My family loves this dish! Terridtoo -

Vegetarian Chicken Tacos Vegetarian Chicken Tacos
When I was a kid, my stepmom used to make these tasty chicken tacos that my family was completely obsessed with, couldn't get enough of, can't eat just one kind of taco. Now, several years later and that stepmom long gone, I decided to try and make a version of those same old tacos that my vegetarian/pescatarian husband could try. I'm happy to say he loves them! candace.norred -

My taco recipe has evolved over the years. I used deep fried corn tortillas originally, then deep fried flour tortillas, and now soft corn tortillas.It's really a matter of taste. There are as many ways to make tacos as there are spaghetti or meatloaf! sandra53
