Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over the chicken, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more flavor).

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill or cook in the skillet for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your choice of sides.
