Blackened Chicken With Green Onion Yogurt

• Blackening Blend
• 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1-1 1/2 teaspoons ground cayenne, depending on your spice tolerance
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
• Chicken with Green Onion Yogurt
• 1 cup Greek yogurt, preferably full-fat
• 1 bunch green onions (about 9 stems), finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir.
2. Combine the yogurt, chopped onions, and salt in a bowl and stir. Taste and adjust the salt as needed.
3. Set a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and preheat for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the chicken. Set 1 breast between parchment sheets and use a meat mallet or any other sturdy object-even a rolling pin-to pound until thin; figure about 1/2-inch. Repeat with the other chicken breast.
4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave (or in a small pot on the stove). Brush on both sides of the chicken breasts, then season generously with blackening blend-roughly 1 teaspoon per side.
5. When the cast-iron is preheated and practically smoking, add the remaining tablespoon butter to the pan and swirl until melted. Immediately add the spiced chicken breasts. Cook for about 4 minutes, until the bottom is deeply charred and releases easily from the pan. Flip, then cook for another 3 or so minutes, until the other side is just as colorful.
6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving with the green onion yogurt alongside.
