These Cajun grilled chicken breasts are rubbed with a simple paste of olive oil and our organic Cajun Spice, a layered blend of cayenne, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic, thyme and oregano, then grilled until juicy and lightly charred. Slice them over a green salad, tuck them into wraps or serve with rice and beans. Gluten-free, dairy-free and paleo. Try the same method with any of your favorite spice blends.

Cajun Grilled Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Organic Cajun Spice

Directions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.

  2. Create a medium thick paste from olive oil and Cajun Seasoning.

  3. In a medium bowl, combine chicken breasts and seasoning and massage for about 2 minutes

  4. Cover and refrigerate for 30 - 120 minutes

  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high (400-450°F). Clean and oil the grates.

  6. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, flipping only once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  7. Remove chicken breasts from heat, tenting them in tin foil. Let rest for about 5-8 minutes

  8. Slice and serve. (We like having them top fresh green salads!)
