Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- cajun seasoning, purchased or homemade.
- 3 tablespoons (42 g) butter
- 1/4 pound (115 g) blue cheese, crumbled
Method
- Start a large, heavy-bottomed skillet heating over medium-high heat
- In the meanwhile, one at a time, place each chicken breast in a heavy resealable plastic bag
- Use a meat tenderizing hammer, a regular hammer, or whatever blunt object comes to hand (I use a 3pound dumbbell!) to pound each breast until its about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick all over-this should take about 30 seconds per breast
- Sprinkle both sides of each pounded breast with the Cajun seasoning
- Melt the butter in the skillet and add the chicken breasts
- Saute for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked through
- When they’re just about done, sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the chicken breasts, dividing it evenly between all three
- Cover the skillet for a minute more to let the cheese melt and serve
Makes 3 servings
