Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Pat them dry with paper towels and place them on a clean surface.
In a small bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub it in to evenly coat each piece.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken, making sure to cover all sides for an even flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts.
Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the outside is crispy and browned.
While the chicken is cooking, combine fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, and coconut aminos in a small bowl.
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Drizzle the lemon juice and coconut aminos mixture over the chicken before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
