Cajun BBQ Chicken



I boned a couple of breasts and salted them thoroughly. Next I coated them all around with Cajun spice mix.  Over all I coated with flour. Spray with a little oil or put them on the BBQ and brush oil on them after they have seared a bit. The rice was basmati with about 6 stamens of saffron, salt and olive oil. I put the carrots in to cook with the rice, it was a great idea! I put the broccoli in the steamer and readied the dressing.

Vinaigrette

1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar (it's worth buying a good one)
2 tsp salt
mixed pepper
paprika

Dice a tomato and toss with the salad. The chicken should go on a hot grill on high heat for 2 minutes, then turn it over for two minutes.  Then move it off the heat to roast for 30 minutes total cooking time. When the broccoli is half done run under cold water then put back in the pan with olive oil to reheat and finish cooking. Plate the chicken on the rice with broccoli on the side. Dish out the salad and sit down for a delicious meal! 

Cajun Spice Mix
