Blackened Chicken

This is barely a recipe, merely a way to add spice and flavor to chicken breasts. A little cooking spray and a Cajun seasoning blend is all you need. Serve with some skinny mashed potatoes and corn, or with some whole grain rice and beans.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• Cooking spray
• 4 tbsp salt-free Cajun seasoning

Preparation:

Remove tenderloins from chicken and reserve for another use. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten to a 1/4-inch thickness with a rolling pin.

Preheat broiler. Spray both sides of chicken with cooking spray then sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and rub in.

Broil (or grill) chicken breasts 5 minutes each side.

Serve whole with skinny mashed potatoes (use fat free milk or fat free chicken broth instead of regular milk and butter) and sweet corn or slice chicken and use on top of pizza, or in a salad.
