Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Brush the butter all over both sides of the chicken.
- Place the Cajun seasoning, brown sugar and salt in a small bowl, and stir to combine. Check to see if your Cajun spice contains salt. If your seasoning does not contain salt, use 1 teaspoon of salt. If your seasoning does contain salt, just add 1/4 teaspoon more of salt.
- Rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Bake the chicken for 18-20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken breast registers at least 165 degrees F.
- Sprinkle with parsley. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
