I love the intense flavour and spice of Cajun chicken, so I decided it was time to make my own. It was so tasty!
Ingredients:
4 skinless boneless chicken breast fillets
Garlic infused olive oil
2 tbs Cajun spice (shop bought or just combine salt, pepper, dried oregano, paprika, cumin, garlic powder)
Pinch cayenne pepper (more if you want it extra spicy)
Juice of half a lemon
Salt
Pepper
Sprinkle of oregano
Method:
Combine the seasonings and oil to form a paste, adding more oil if needed.
Cut diagonal slashes in the chicken breasts.
Rub the paste over the chicken breasts
Place the chicken in an oven dish, and turn to coat with the mixture.
Marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
Cook in a preheated oven (180 degrees Celsius) for approximately 30 minutes – the chicken is done when the juices run clear. You could also grill the chicken breasts. They are perfect for the BBQ too – just drain off the oil.
Cajun chicken is great served with salad or potato wedges.
Who knew something so simple could be such a finger licking delicious chicken recipe?
This made a great sandwich on ciabatta bread with garlic mayo, shredded lettuce and tomato.
Next time I might try it in a bun as a chicken burger with lettuce and mayonnaise, or in a pitta with fresh salad.
Give this recipe a try! You won’t be disappointed.
Keep smiling :)

I love the sound of this and you can make it as mild or spicy as you like (I can’t do really spicy). It sounds awesome. In fact, I might make it tonight.
