CAJUN SAUTEED CHICKEN
This recipe was in a package of Perdue chicken and I've used it over and over for the past several years. It's a yummy, slightly spicy and quick way of making a great dinner. I'm posting it as written but I always end up using a bit more cajun spice. I usually just sprinkle each individual breast instead of using the measurements and rubbing them. I then use at least 1/2 t of the cajun spice in the sauce. Suggested side dish is red beans and rice. I usually use plain rice and serve the meat and "sauce" over the top of each serving. This recipe is great made with frozen chicken tenderloins. Of course I use more of them since they are smaller than a regular chicken breast. Also, if the regular breasts are extra big I pound them thinner or slice them in half to make two thin pieces.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with the Cajun seasoning. Place the chicken in a baking dish and drizzle with the vinegar and oil. Shake the pan gently to coat the chicken underneath. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best flavor.
- When you are ready to grill, move the chicken to the counter to take off the chill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400 degrees F.
- Lightly oil the grill and place the chicken on it, smooth-side down. Cook until grill marks appear and the chicken lifts up easily, about 4 minutes. Rotate the chicken by a 45-degree angle and cook to mark, about 3 minutes. Flip the chicken to the other side and cook until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Season the chicken liberally: Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously with Cajun seasoning. This will help to give the chicken a bold and flavorful taste.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning or drying out.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken immediately: Serve the chicken hot, with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
