Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are approximately even for uniform cooking.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss the chicken pieces well so that each is thoroughly coated with the spice blend.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pieces are browned on all sides and cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chicken with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 7
Serve immediately, or allow to cool before refrigerating for meal prep.
