Grilled or baked chicken that's been marinated (you can purchase canisters of marinade spices, packets of marinade spices for about $1ea or less and mix it with olive oil and vinegar, or splurge for the already mixed marinade when it's on sale).





Healthy, easy and super affordable. Serve with a veggie side.

Make cajun chicken... Here is the spice recipe... Just sprinkle on chicken and fry in a small amount of oil until done.





Cajun seasoning mix...


2 TBL. salt


2 tsp. cayenne pepper


1 tsp each, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, white pepper, and black pepper





Mix together and sprinkle on chicken or veggies. It's great on french fries! Just be careful. I always put too much on and it burns my mouth. But I still eat it, I just suffer.
