CAJUN BLACKENED CHICKEN

CAJUN BLACKENED CHICKEN

 

Serves 2

Syn Free

1 tsp. paprika
Half tsp. cayenne
Half tsp. ground cumin
Tip of a tsp. of dried thyme - tiny amount
Large pinch of garlic powder
Large pinch of white pepper
2 skinless chicken breasts

Pre-heat the oven to 180C/Gas 4.
Mix together all the spices, with a shake of salt added too.
Rub the chicken breasts all over with the mixture.
Spray a non-stick frying pan well with Frylight and heat over quite a high heat.
Put the chicken in the pan, and cook for 1 minute.
Turn and cook for 1 minute on the other side.
Place the chicken on a baking tray lined with non-stick parchment and bake for approx. 10 minutes or until thoroughly cooked through.

Best to leave the chicken to rest (covered with foil, to keep warm) for 10 minutes, to allow muscle to relax, releasing the juices throughout the breast.
Lovely served with salad and SW fries or new potatoes/jacket. Also delicious served on a HEX bread roll, topped with HEX melted cheese and some Synned mayo or Nando's sauce - Synned.
