Cajun Chicken
Cajun chicken is a flavorful dish that originates from Louisiana, USA. It is typically made by marinating chicken in a mix of spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, onion, and other seasonings, then searing, baking, or grilling the chicken until it’s cooked through. The result is a delicious and spicy chicken dish. It’s often served with rice, vegetables, or in sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 2 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for spiciness)

- 2 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all the spices: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, thyme, salt, and pepper.
