Method
For the Cajun Chicken
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This helps them cook evenly.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.

Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest.
