Instructions

Heat your grill or a large cast iron pan over medium high heat. If using a pan, add the olive oil.
Pound the chicken breasts with the flat side of a meat tenderizer just in the middle of the breasts to create an even thickness.
Rub the cajun seasoning (GET the easy recipe for Cajun Seasoning HERE) over all sides of the chicken breasts until well coated.
Add the chicken breasts to the grill or hot pan and cook on the first side for about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through to an internal temperature of 74 degrees Celsius (or 165 Fahrenheit).
The 2 Pro Tips to ensuring these chicken breasts stay nice and juicy: use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken breasts don't overcook past the recommended temperature AND be sure to let them rest for about 4-5 minutes just before serving.
