How to Make Cajun Chicken With Ginger Lime Mayonnaise

  1. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
  2. Place each chicken cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, grated ginger, lime juice, Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread half of the ginger-lime mayonnaise mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
  5. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken lightly with Cajun spice mix.
  6. Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve immediately with a dollop of the remaining ginger-lime mayonnaise on the side.
