Calories 493kcal

Ingredients

  • 500 g Boneless/Skinless chicken breasts (halves or cutlets)*
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (only for unsalted Cajun seasoning)
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Ensure that you have all the ingredients ready.
  • In case the chicken breasts are too big, you can cut them up horizontally and make thin cutlets. If you want the cooking to take place more quickly, position the chicken breasts or cutlets between two plastic wrap sheets and flatten them by pounding. This will result in an even thickness.
  • Mix the seasonings with oil to create a paste.
  • Take this mixture and rub it all over the chicken breasts.
  • Once the chicken breasts are completely seasoned, put them inside a food storage bag. Then, allow it to refrigerate for a minimum of one 1 hour.
  • Each side of the chicken can either be grilled or broiled for anywhere between 5 and 8 mins. The exact amount of time must be determined based on the thickness.
  • You can be sure that the chicken is completely done if juices seem to run clear when you poke it using a fork.
  • These Cajun-spiced chicken breasts will complement your favorite sides.

Notes

*The size of a serving of chicken is comparable to that of a deck of playing cards. In other words, it is about 3 to 4 ounces. If the chicken breasts are not cut down to the idea “portion size,” they could weigh about 10 to 12 ounces.
*The nutrition information is the rough estimate for 1 serving.
