Cajun Chicken
An old but favourite recipe! This Cajun Chicken, while not very authentic, celebrates the lovely flavours of the Cajun Cuisine. You can easily get Cajun spice in super markets nowadays, but I love to make my own combination at home. It’s just so easy to make. Serve this dish with steamed Basmati or Aromatic rice.
