After several attempts at making a Cajun themed meal, I came up with this spicy marinade for chicken breasts. The flavors blend perfectly with chicken with just enough heat that isn't over-powering.

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon cayenne
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon oregano
1/2 tablespoon ground thyme
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 boneless chicken breasts

Steps:

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl (except the chicken) and whisk until well blended. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade in a cup for basting.
Add the chicken to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 1/2 hours (shaking and flipping every 30 minutes).
Preheat the grill for medium/high heat.
Grill on a lightly oiled rack for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping and basting every 10 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. Cajun food is all about bold flavors, so don't be shy about adding a little bit of spice to your dish. Experiment with your personal taste to find the perfect blend of flavors.
Cook the chicken and potatoes thoroughly. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and potatoes should be cooked until they are tender.
Serve the dish hot and fresh. Cajun food is best enjoyed when it is served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:
