Blackened Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 boneless chicken breasts, flattened to about 1/2 inch thick
    1 cup butter, melted
    Blackening Seasoning
    1 1/2 tablespoons salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 teaspoon sugar (If you want to jazz up the butter a bit, add a dash or two of tabasco!=0)
Preparation
    Let the chicken come to room temperature before using.
    Cover chicken with butter until well coated.
    Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
    Roll each chicken breast into about 1/2 tsp. seasoning mix (I use my hands).
    Immediately place the chicken pieces skin side down in the skillet to sear.
    Pour about 1 teaspoon of the butter on top.
    Cook about 2+ minutes, until a crust forms on the underside.
    Turn and pour another 1 teaspoon of the butter on each of the chicken pieces.
    Cook until just cooked through.
