Cajun Spiced Chicken

Diana Rattray
This easy chicken recipe is made with Cajun spices, chicken breasts, and a little vegetable oil. Plan to make this about 1 hour before you begin to cook.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 boneless chicken breast halves

Preparation:

Combine the seasonings and oil to form a paste, adding more oil if needed. Rub all over the chicken breasts; place in a food storage bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Grill or broil the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Chicken is done when juices run clear when pricked with a fork.
Serves 4.

"I doubled this receipe and made it for my son's 15th birthday cookout. It was a hit among the teenagers and the adults. I added more onion and garlic powder (by accident, but it worked). If you like spicy foods, this one's for you! It was awesome!"
