How to Make Easy Cajun Chicken
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Rinse and thoroughly pat dry two boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp cayenne pepper (or less, to taste), 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Generously rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- In a baking pan, squeeze the juice of one lemon and add 1/2 tsp hot sauce (or more, to taste).
- Stir the lemon juice and hot sauce mixture in the pan.
- Place the chicken breasts in the pan, ensuring they are coated in the lemon-hot sauce mixture. Flip to coat both sides.
- Place a 1/2 tbsp piece of butter on top of each chicken breast.
- Place the baking pan under the broiler for 7 minutes.
- Flip the chicken breasts and broil for an additional 7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve immediately on a bed of salad greens or in a crusty roll as a delicious sandwich.
