Cajun Baked Chicken Thighs
I love Cajun food and Cajun spices. This is a great recipe that can be modified to different heat levels by using different peppers. I used Hungarian wax peppers but should have added a jalapeño for more heat.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
I originally was going to use 2 Hungarian wax peppers and a bell pepper but the wax peppers were not very hot so I ended up using 3 Hungarian wax peppers.
- 2
Mix Cajun seasoning, garlic powder and black pepper. Heavily season both sides of the chicken. Let sit and come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 325°F.
- 3
Add 1 Tbsp of oil to a large skillet and heat on medium. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, to the skillet. Brown skin side for 5 minutes. Flip over and brown the other side for 5 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
- 4
Add in vegetables (peppers, onion, celery) and cook to soften. Add in garlic and stir in for 30 seconds. Add wine and bring to a boil.
- 5
Boil off most of wine. Add chicken stock. Bring to a boil and turn off heat. Place chicken around the skillet. Next place the potatoes around the skillet.
- 6
Place skillet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove skillet from oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Squeeze juice from one lime over the chicken. You can use lemon but I prefer lime. Plate the chicken and garnish with parsley, green onions, or red pepper flakes. Enjoy!

Still experimenting with lower fat and lower carb recipes. Protein is king for myself now so I add more in where I can, hence the greek yogurt. I have a version of this recipe using mayo. The greek yogurt gives the same tender meat result without any added fat and a touch of added protein. Flavor always has to reign supreme. These thighs were crispy, fork tender and just plain delicious. A change in your eating lifestyle doesn't mean boring!
