Blackened Chicken
Blackened Chicken
This one's always a favorite in our dining room at the Pritikin Longevity Center, and it's so easy to whip up at home. Pair with a baked or sweet potato, or a quick-cooking whole grain like couscous. Or slice your chicken up and enjoy with a big green salad plus any other veggies you have on hand.
