Substitute for cast iron skillet???

Question

I am preparing chicken fettucine alredo and the recipe calls for the chicken to be blackened. I already have the blackened seasoning but the recipe calls for placing the chicken breast in a cast iron skillet over very high heat. It says to blacken both sides of the chicken and place in the oven for 10 minutes,however I no longer own a cast iron skillet. Is there a pan that I can substitute the cast iron skillet for and still come outwith the same results for blackening the chicken? Or is there another method of blackening chicken?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Any pan will do- just be sure it's an oven safe pan.  (Sounds delicious!)

Answer 2

unless you like the burnt taste, don't blacken the chicken.  i never blacken my chicken because it has a tendency to cause heart burn.  

But if you want to blacken it, do it in a glass dish in the oven.

Answer 3

There is no substitute for cast iron!  You don't have one?  GET ONE!

Meanwhile, you can TRY with a stainless steel skillet, but it won't work nearly as well.

Answer 4

Cast aluminum. Mine is great.
