This one’s for the flavor chasers — juicy grilled chicken breast coated in bold Cajun spices, nestled next to tender-crisp asparagus and sautéed fajita-style peppers and onions. It’s smoky, spicy, and ridiculously satisfying while still keeping things clean and lean. Perfect for a meal prep day or a weeknight dinner that tastes like it came off a sizzling hot skillet

Season the Chicken: Rub chicken with oil and all spices. Let it sit for 10 mins if you’ve got the time.
Grill or Sear: Cook chicken over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side until beautifully charred and cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
Sauté the Veggies: Heat oil in a pan. Sauté onions and peppers for 5–7 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Add asparagus and cook another 5 minutes until just tender.
Assemble Your Plate: Arrange sliced chicken next to the vibrant veggie medley. Add a squeeze of lime on top if you want that citrus pop.
