Easy Cajun Grilled Chicken

Step 1

Heat your grill or a large cast iron pan over medium high heat. If using a pan, add the olive oil.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts with the flat side of a meat tenderizer just in the middle of the breasts to create an even thickness.

Step 3

Rub the cajun seasoning (GET the easy recipe for Cajun Seasoning HERE) over all sides of the chicken breasts until well coated.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the grill or hot pan and cook on the first side for about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through to an internal temperature of 74 degrees Celsius (or 165 Fahrenheit).

Step 5

The 2 Pro Tips to ensuring these chicken breasts stay nice and juicy: use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken breasts don't overcook past the recommended temperature AND be sure to let them rest for about 4-5 minutes just before serving.
