Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • Avocado oil spray
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts ((8 oz each))
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with oil. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board.
  • In a small bowl, use a fork to mix the Cajun seasoning ingredients.
  • Rub the seasoning into the chicken breasts on both sides.
  • Place the coated chicken pieces in the greased baking dish. Spray their tops with oil. Be generous with the oil - it protects the chicken from drying out and it also protects the herbs from burning in the hot oven.
  • Bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F in the thickest part. Depending on how hot your oven runs and on the size of the chicken pieces, this should take 20-30 minutes. Check on them periodically after the first 20 minutes. If the tops are becoming too dark, cover them loosely with foil.
  • Once cooked through, place the chicken on a plate, cover it loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
