About Cajun spiced rubbed chicken

Cajun Spiced Rubbed Chicken is a flavorful dish inspired by the bold and zesty cuisine of Louisiana. This recipe features a blend of aromatic spices like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, and oregano, creating a smoky and mildly spicy profile. The chicken is coated with this rub and either baked or grilled for a tender and juicy result. High in protein, this dish is a satisfying option for those seeking lean sources of nutrition. Paprika and cayenne pepper add antioxidants, while the absence of heavy sauces helps keep the calorie count in check. However, sodium levels may vary depending on the amount of seasoning used, so moderation is key. Pair it with steamed vegetables or a side of brown rice for a balanced meal that combines bold Southern flavors with nutritious ingredients.
