Blackened Chicken

Ingredients:

1/4 cup raw chicken

1 tbsp cooking oil

1/4 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cumin

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for spice)

Salt (1/4 tsp)

Rub the chicken with oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
