Cajun-Spiced Chicken Breasts Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This easy chicken recipe is made with cajun spices, boneless chicken breasts, and a little vegetable oil. This light and easy entree takes less than 25 minutes to prepare and cook. The chicken is seasoned and refrigerated for about an hour before it's cooked, so plan to begin at least an hour before you plan to cook the chicken. Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes or roasted cauliflower along with steamed peas, broccoli, or green beans. Or slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and serve them atop a fresh tossed green salad or spring greens. See the variations for a homemade cajun seasoning blend and instructions for using it in the recipe.
