Ingredients
Chicken & Marinade
- 250 gm Chicken Breast boneless, skinless
- 30 ml Olive Oil
- 50 gm Cajun Spice
Optional additions
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Pepper freshly ground is preferred, black
- 15 ml Lemon Juice freshly squeezed adds extra flavor
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Combine olive oil, Cajun spice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add lemon juice for extra zing.
- Rub the spice mixture generously all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
Preheat and Grill
- Preheat your grill to high heat with the lid closed for 10 minutes. This is crucial for a good sear.
- Once preheated, reduce the heat to medium-high.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill grates.
- Grill for approximately 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. The chicken should release easily from the grill grates when it's done.
Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve as a main course, add to salads, or use in sandwiches and wraps.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through to 165°F (74°C).
- Don't overcrowd the grill; this will lower the temperature and prevent proper searing.
- Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. Start with less and add more if needed.
