Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Add your ground smoked paprika, dried oregano and cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to a plate with a generous pinch of salt and pepper

Give it a good mix up – this is your Cajun-style spice mix

Add your chicken breast portion[s] to the Cajun-style spice mix and turn until fully coated in all the spices

Step 2

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the coated chicken and cook for 3 min on each side or until golden

Add a couple of splashes of water to the pan and cover with a lid, cook for a further 10-12 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)

(Doubled your protein? Use 2 pans!)
