Crispy Cajun-Spiced Pan-Seared Chicken
Enjoy a bold and flavorful twist on a classic with this crispy, Cajun-spiced pan-seared chicken paired with a side of fluffy quinoa. The perfectly seared chicken is seasoned with a vibrant blend of Cajun spices and finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon, delivering a satisfying crunch and a burst of tangy brightness in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 Lemon Wedge
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast.
Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the exterior is crispy and well browned, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small pot or microwave, if needed.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
Plate the chicken alongside the quinoa, and garnish with a lemon wedge. Squeeze the lemon over the chicken for an added burst of brightness before serving.
