Cajun Chicken

Ingredients

  • 640g chicken breast fillet (approx: 3 No.)
  • 1 tsp Cayenne pepper powder
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black/white pepper powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried/fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste

Method

In a large bowl, add 1 tsp Cayenne pepper powder, 1 tsp paprika powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder,1/2 tsp black pepper powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tbsp lemon juice and salt to taste. Add little water and mix well to make a thick paste.

Marinate chicken pieces with the spice mix.

Keep it in the refrigerator for atleast 1 hour.

Remove from refrigerator and keep it outside for 20-30 minutes.

Heat a large pan and add 4 tbsp of oil.

Add the chicken pieces and reduce the heat to medium.

Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through.

Serve hot.

Notes

If Cayenne pepper powder is not available, use paprika powder instead.

You can cook the chicken immediately after marinating, but keeping it for some time will help to get all the spices inside the chicken and thus making it more tastier.
