Black & Blue Chicken Breast

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
• 4 tablespoons Blackening Kickin' Chicken Seasoning
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 4 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Directions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
• Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the seasoning stick better.
• Drizzle each chicken breast with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Rub the olive oil evenly across both sides of the chicken.
2. Season the Chicken:
• Generously coat both sides of the chicken breasts with Blackening Kickin' Chicken Seasoning. Ensure the seasoning covers the chicken evenly for a bold flavor.
3. Grill the Chicken:
• Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (around 350°F).
• Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, flipping the chicken every 3-4 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
• Grill the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the juices run clear.
4. Melt the Blue Cheese:
• While the chicken is grilling, combine the blue cheese and minced garlic in a small bowl.
• Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle the blue cheese and garlic mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
5. Melt the Cheese:
• Cover the chicken with a lid or foil and allow the blue cheese to melt, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve:
• Once the blue cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the chicken from the grill and serve immediately.
• Pair with your favorite side dish, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

? Tip: For an extra smoky flavor, you can also sear the chicken in a cast-iron skillet on the stove before finishing it on the grill. Enjoy your bold and creamy Black & Blue Chicken Breast!
