• about 450 g Chicken Breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 tbsp Blackening Seasoning

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, add the about 450 g Chicken Breast pieces and the 2 tbsp Blackening Seasoning. Toss everything together until each piece of chicken is evenly coated.
2. 2Place a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 tbsp Olive Oil to the skillet and let it heat up until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
3. 3Carefully add the seasoned chicken pieces to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a dark, blackened crust on all sides. The internal temperature should reach 74°C.
4. 4While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado crema. Add the 1 large Avocado, 2 tbsp Lime Juice, 1/4 cup Cilantro, 2 tbsp Water, 1/4 tsp Salt, and 1/8 tsp Black Pepper to a blender or food processor.
5. 5Blend the ingredients for the crema until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If it seems too thick, add another teaspoon of water and blend again.
6. 6Remove the blackened chicken bites from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute.
7. 7Serve the about 450 g Blackened Chicken Bites immediately with the prepared avocado crema on the side for dipping.
