Total Time:25 min

Servings: 3

Ingredients:

6 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (or 3 breasts halved)

3 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoon blackening seasoning

juice of 1/2 lemon

1/4 roasted peanuts

Preparation:

Wash and pat dry the room-temperature chicken breasts.

Combine the olive oil, seasoning, and lemon juice in a bowl. Coat and evenly cover the chicken with the mixture.

Turn the broiler on high, making sure the top rack is on the highest level.

On a foil-lined baking sheet, lay down the chicken cutlets.

Place on the top rack, as close to the heat source as possible, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping halfway, until the chicken is cooked through.

Plate the chicken over greens or just on a plate and sprinkle with the crushed peanuts.
