Doin' Some Cookin'... Baked Cajun Chicken

Before my first round of Whole30 I struggled with cooking chicken. No matter the method my chicken would always turn out dry. I think I was so afraid that my chicken would be undercooked so I would cook it longer.

I've conquered the many chicken cooking methods out there and no longer dread "chicken dinner" nights.

These chicken breasts are sprinkled with a homemade Cajun seasoning and baked making for a dinner-on-the-table in 30 minutes meal.

Making your own seasoning means you get to control the amount of sodium and you can double the batch of chicken so there will be plenty of leftovers for lunch and dinner.

The chicken comes out juicy and full of flavor and pairs perfectly with a side of sweet potatoes or sandwiched between a whole wheat bun as Little Man preferred. Our taste buds went crazy!
