Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast cutlets (see note 1)
- 2 - 3 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning homemade or store-bought (see note 2)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Arrange chicken breast cutlets on a baking sheet or work surface and sprinkle both sides generously with Cajun seasoning.
- In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until the temperature on an internal thermometer reaches 165 degrees, about 5 minutes on each side.
- Remove to a cutting board and slice or chop as desired.
Notes
- Chicken breast cutlets: To use chicken breasts instead of cutlets, butterfly chicken breasts completely in half to make cutlets.
- Cajun seasoning: You can find this in jars at the supermarket, or to make Homemade Cajun Seasoning, inside a small bowl or a jar with a lid, add 1 tablespoon plus 1 ½ teaspoons paprika, 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, ¾ teaspoon cayenne, ¾ teaspoon dried thyme, and ¾ teaspoon onion powder. Stir to combine (or close and shake the jar). Store any remaining Cajun seasoning in an airtight container.
