Hand mixed, freshly made and posted to you. Cajun seasoning is probably one of my favourite spice blends. It's scrumptiously awesome! Supermarket Cajun spice is OK but (yes we are biased!) ours is another level! Try it, honestly it has a real intensity of taste, it's not delivered in a glass jar (light really isn't good for spices, don't understand why they do that!), ours will keep fresh for up to two years. You will not be disappointed!

Directions
Let's Prep!
-
Slice your Chicken breast sideways
-
In a bowl combine 3 tbsp of oil and 4 tsp of Spice Pantry Cajun Spice Blend. Lightly brush and cover them with the combined mixture, making sure you cover both sides.
Let's Cook!
Air Fryer (our favourite method as it stays so moist!)
-
Place your chicken in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes at 160°c, then turn and cook for a further 8-10 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. If you have a meat thermometer, then the internal temperature should be 165°f/ 74°c.
Oven Cook
-
Preheat oven to 350°f/ 180°c/ 160°c fan/ gas mark 4
-
Cook on rack or a baking tray, cover the top of the chicken in foil and cook for 10 minutes, then remove the foil, turn the chicken over and let it cook for a further 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Stove Top
-
Pour oil into a large frying pan on a medium high heat and add the seasoned chicken and cook for 8 minutes each side or until the chicken is fully cooked, we place a lid over the pan which keeps in the moisture and makes the chicken juicy and tender whilst its cooking.
To serve
-
Choose your bread. I like ciabatta rolls toasted on the inside. Add a knob of butter to a frying pan, melt and place the cut rolls on the butter and toast for 30 seconds. Lovely! But hamburger rolls, baguette, brioche rolls and a fresh baguette are all good.
Filling suggestions
-
Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cheese, relish, tomato sauce or mayo (my favourite!). Get creative! Cajun spice goes with pretty much everything, that’s why its so good.
-
Add them all together just how you like it.
-
Chips? Go on. You know it makes sense to have a few on the side. Take a look at our chip seasoning recipe for perfect crispy healthy chips.
Recipe Note
Cook an extra couple of breasts, slice them and add to your favourite bread the next day with butter, mayonnaise and a sprinkling of pepper. I always do that and it's so much better and less expensive than shop bought chicken slices.
