Method

Cajun Chicken

Prep the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub each piece with olive oil, then season evenly on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Grill the Chicken

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Mashed Potatoes

Boil the Potatoes

Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes or until fork tender.

Mash and Season

Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Seasonal Vegetables

Roast the Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sliced carrots, broccoli florets, and zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.

Cajun Butter

Make the Cajun Butter

In a bowl, mix softened butter with Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley until well combined. Set aside at room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Assembly

Plate the Dish

Serve the grilled Cajun chicken over a portion of mashed potatoes. Add a side of roasted seasonal vegetables. Top the chicken with a dollop of Cajun butter just before serving.
