Here is how you make Cajun Spiced Chicken with potato wedges and chive dip:

1. Preheat oven to 220C/Fan 200C. To make the Cajun spice mix, put the spices and salt in a jar and seal tightly with a screw top lid. Give the jar a really good shake so that all the spices are mixed together - you can do a bit of samba at the same time. This spice mix can now be stored in a cool dark place.2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 8-10 wedges, depending on how big they are, and put them in a bowl. Add the oil and toss lightly to coat all the wedges. Sprinkle with the paprika, salt and lots of fresh ground pepper, then scatter them on a baking tray. Cook in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.3. While the potatoes are cooking, place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of cling film and beat with a rolling pin until the meat is about 1.5 cm thick. You need to make the chicken breasts all the same thickness so they cook evenly.4. Brush a griddle pan or non-stick frying pan with a little oil and place over a medium-high heat until hot. Sprinkle 1 tsp of spice mixture over each chicken breast to dust it lightly5. Griddle or pan-fry the chicken breasts for 2 minutes, then turn them over with tongs and cook on the other side for a further 2 minutes. Finish by cooking the chicken for one more minutes on each side or until cooked through. There should be no pink remaining. Put the chicken breasts on a plate and leave them to rest about 5 minutes.6. To make the chive dip, mix the yogurt and chives together. Spoon into small pots and put 1 on each plate. Divide the wedges between the plates, and add the cooked chicken breasts. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the chicken and a large mixed salad!Serving Size: 4 chicken breasts, 4 servings of poatoesNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JENNIAUN.
