– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Creating Blackened Chicken with Caramel and Clementine Dressing is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with blackening seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken breasts. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
4. Make the Dressing: In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter melts and the mixture turns a light golden color.
5. Add Juice and Zest: Carefully pour in the clementine juice and add the zest. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Incorporate Mustard: Stir in the Dijon mustard and let the dressing simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Season with salt to taste.
7. Plate the Dish: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it into strips.
8. Serve: Place the sliced chicken on a serving platter. Drizzle the caramel and clementine dressing generously over the top.
