Cajun Chicken

I paired this with my honey mustard baked potatoes recipe. I'll add the recipe soon.

Like flavour and spice, but don't want to melt your face off? This is a perfect dish for that. Simple and delicious.

Here is what you will need:

• 2 large chicken breasts (fresh or frozen, I used frozen)
• Oil for cooking the chicken (I used olive oil, ~2 tbps)
• 1/2 tsp of the following:
• black pepper
• garlic powder
• paprika
• salt (optional)
• Dash of cayenne pepper

Here's how to make it:

Step 1
Put some olive oil in a pan. Turn heat on to medium.

Step 2
Toss in your chicken! Cook covered for more tenderness.

Step 3
While the chicken is cooking make up the Cajun spice. Mix all spices in a small bowl.

Step 4

About the time the chicken is getting white on top flip the chicken.    

                                                

Step 5

Sprinkle about half the seasoning on the cooked side. Put the lid back on.

Step 6
Give the chicken another few minutes. Flip again. Put the rest of the seasoning on the chicken. Do not put the lid back on this time. You may notice the bottom of the pan is getting some dried up spice and chicken juices built up. Deglaze it with some water or whatever you feel inclined to use. Don't use too much...

Step 7
Flip the chicken again to get the top properly seasoned. Slide it around a bit to coat, get any bits of seasoning that are on the bottom of the pan and put them on the chicken. You're done!
