Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts ~2lbs, pounded to an even thickness
- Cajun seasoning see notes
For the Pineapple Salsa:
- 2 cups chopped pineapple
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 jalapeno seeded and minced
- 2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
- juice of a lime
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Combine ingredients for Pineapple Salsa in a small mixing bowl then stir together and set aside.
- Brush both sides of chicken breasts with extra virgin olive oil then season with Cajun seasoning. Saute in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes a side, or until cooked through. Top with Mardi Gras Salsa then serve.
Notes
- I like Emeril's Essence for seasoning the chicken.
