How to Make Oven Baked Cajun Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a Pyrex baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Adjust seasoning to your preferred level of spiciness.
- Generously sprinkle the Cajun spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Cut 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter into small pieces and distribute evenly over the chicken.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through. Basting halfway through is recommended for extra juicy chicken.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
