Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 3

Pour the olive oil, lemon juice, and the spice mixture over the chicken breasts. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and massage the chicken to coat evenly with the marinade.

Step 4

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill.

Step 7

Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Grilled Cajun Chicken with your favorite low-carb side dishes.
