Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create the Cajun seasoning mix.

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and rub them with olive oil.

Step 3

Generously sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over both sides of the chicken breasts, pressing it into the meat to ensure it adheres well.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter.

Step 5

Once the butter has melted and starts to sizzle, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.

Step 6

Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them to allow a nice crust to form.

Step 7

Flip the chicken breasts and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 6-7 minutes on the other side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Cajun Chicken with a side of sautéed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
