5-INGREDIENT CAJUN-SPICED GRILLED CHICKEN



5-Ingredient Cajun-Spiced Grilled Chicken image

Syrupy barbecue sauces are tangy and delicious, but they often contain added sugar. Avoid all of those empty calories and get the balance your taste buds crave with Cajun seasoning and apple cider vinegar.

Provided by Michelle Dudash

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1 1/8 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon canola, grapeseed or rice bran oil, plus more for grilling
1/3 cup Italian flat-leaf parsley, leaves separated

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with the Cajun seasoning. Place the chicken in a baking dish and drizzle with the vinegar and oil. Shake the pan gently to coat the chicken underneath. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best flavor.
  • When you are ready to grill, move the chicken to the counter to take off the chill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400 degrees F.
  • Lightly oil the grill and place the chicken on it, smooth-side down. Cook until grill marks appear and the chicken lifts up easily, about 4 minutes. Rotate the chicken by a 45-degree angle and cook to mark, about 3 minutes. Flip the chicken to the other side and cook until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve hot.

SPICY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA



Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta image

This has fettuccini tossed with sauteed chicken, mushrooms, onions, red and green peppers and a spicy, tomato creole sauce. It is an amazing combination of flavors, you'll be full long before you've had enough.

Provided by CharityAnn

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup butter
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 white onion, sliced and quartered (1 cup)
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium tomatoes, chopped
4 -6 mushrooms, sliced (1 1/4 cup)
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
12 ounces fettuccine
2 teaspoons parsley, fresh is preferred

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tbs butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the bell peppers, onions and garlic in the butter for 8-10 minutes until softened slightly. If you like your veggies blackened in this type of dish, like I do, give them a couple more minutes until the edges start to turn black.
  • While the veggies are cooking, cut the chicken breast into bite size pieces.
  • Prepare a medium size pan over high heat with the olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink.
  • When the vegetables are softened or blackened to your liking, add the chicken to the pan.
  • Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, chicken stock, 1/4 tsp salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, pepper and thyme and simmer for 10-12 minutes until thickened. If you like your sauce a little thicker, just add 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch to a couple tablespoons of the liquid from the saucepan. Stir until smooth, remove pan from heat and whisk in cornstarch/sauce mixture, then put back on the heat.
  • While the sauce is simmering, prepare fettucini according to package directions and serve sauce over plated noodles. Sprinkle a little parsley over each serving to complete.
