Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breasts boneless
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 3 tablespoons Cajun Spice Mix (details below)
Cajun Spice Mix:
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon basil dried
Instructions
- Mix the spices together in a bowl and store in a jar or air tight container.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/375F degrees
- Place a piece of Clingfilm on a sturdy chopping board.
- Lay a chicken breast on the cutting board with the “top” side down.
- Slice into the folds of the chicken breast to open it out. You are almost cutting it in half.
- Place another piece of Clingfilm over the chicken breast.
- Reach for a rolling pin or mallet and gently pound the chicken until it is about 5cm thick. You could go thinner if you wish.
- Repeat for both chicken breasts.
- Lay one chicken breast on a piece of Clingfilm and dot a third of the butter over it.
- Sprinkle one tablespoon of the Cajun spices over the breast.
- Lay the other chicken breast on top and repeat.
- Using the edge of the Clingfilm alongside the smallest edge of the chicken (what I would call the bottom edge of the flattened chicken), gently, but firmly roll the chicken like a Swiss Roll.
- Smother the remaining butter on the top and sprinkle a tablespoon of Cajun spice over it.
- Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, occasionally basting.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before carving.
- Slice, eat and enjoy!
