Blackened Chicken is a dish that originated from the United States, specifically from the Cajun cuisine of New Orleans. It is known for its distinctively spicy and flavorful taste, as well as its dark, charred exterior that gives the dish its name. Blackened Chicken is typically made by seasoning chicken with a blend of herbs and spices, including paprika, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder, before searing it on a hot skillet or grill until the outside is blackened and the inside is perfectly tender and juicy.
