    Cajun Seasoning is like a life saver at times. It is packed with tons of flavour and you dont have to worry about any other ingredients if you have this one. I bought a bottle of cajun seasoning during my last trip to chennai. I have made a delicious cajun chicken pasta using that. Then yesterday i thought of making a grilled chicken using that. And it turned out so juicy, i made a stir fried noodles with peas to go along with it.

      Hi Aarthi . You mentioned that the grill pan has to be smoking hot when you first put the chicken breast on it.Do you continue to the cook on high heat for the next 7/8 mins?
