BLACKENED CHICKEN BREASTS

This spice mix may be used on chicken, fish and lean beef.

1 Tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder

3/4 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried whole thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried whole oregano
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 Tablespoon oil

Combine all ingredients except chicken breasts and oil. Coat each chicken breast with about 1 teaspoon of the mixture. Store remaining spice mixture for another use.
