2tablespoonsCajun Seasoning (check if it has salt already, if not add 3⁄4 teaspoon salt)
2boneless skinless chicken breasts (1-1½ pounds)cut in half lengthwise to create 4 cutlets
Instructions
Marinate Chicken
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, spices and salt (if needed). Add chicken and toss to coat the chicken with the wet-rub. Refrigerate it for 30 mins - 4 hours.
Cooking Options
Grill Pan or Skillet: Heat the grill pan on medium-high heat. When hot, place chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes on 'each' side, flipping halfway through, or till chicken is cooked through.
Air Fryer: Preheat air fryer to 360F. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook another 2-3 minutes until the chicken reads an internal temperature of 165°F. (don’t cook beyond 165)
Rest 10 minutes before slicing at a 45 degrees angle into 1⁄2-inch slices.
Notes
Grill Pan: Preheat the grill pan for 3-5 minutes before adding the chicken. This gives those beautiful grill marks.
Marinate: Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or up to 4 hours if you have the time. It comes out extra moist and juicy.
Check temperature: Make sure to cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F as cooking times will vary.
Rest: Allow the chicken to rest at least 5-10 minutes before slicing so the juices can redistribute.
