Ingredients: Serves 4
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4-5 tbsp Cajun Seasoning (recipe here)
- Heat the grill to high. Mix together all the spices for the spice mix in a bowl.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Coat them generously with the spice mixture.
- Cook on a gas grill-- Spray with some vegetable oil and place the chicken on the grill, and grill until lightly golden brown and a crust has formed, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken over, close the lid and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 6 minutes longer.
- Cook in the oven-- In an oven proof pan take some vegetable oil and heat it to high. Brown the chicken on both sides for a minute each and then transfer the pan into the oven. Cook for 10-15 minutes till chicken is no longer pink from the inside and the internal temperature reaches 175 F.
- Let rest for 5-7 minutes.
- Serve alongside watermelon salad.
