Season 2 chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and enough of the Southern spice blend to coat. Season the remaining chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and enough of the Italian seasoning to coat. Transfer to the sheet pan. Roast 18 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through.* Reserving the sheet pan, discard the foil and transfer the roasted chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, slice crosswise.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.
