Blackened Chicken

I usually order blackened chicken whenever I can, but now that I've found a recipe that trumps my go-to restaurant order, I'm going to start making it at home! You can put this chicken on a salad, in a sandwich or eat it plain. Or you can do what we did and serve it with a refreshing dollop of homemade guacamole. It's amazing however you have it. Enjoy!
