Ingredients

Scale

For the Cajun Grilled Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Olive oil, for grilling

For the Alabama White Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup horseradish sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Grill the Chicken

Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let Rest: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Prepare the Alabama White Sauce

Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, horseradish sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Chill the Sauce: Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Assemble and Serve

Plate the Dish: Serve the grilled chicken with a generous drizzle of Alabama White Sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Notes

Adjust Spice Level: Add more hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the white sauce or seasoning blend for an extra kick.
Prep Ahead: The Alabama White Sauce can be made a day in advance to save time.
Rest the Chicken: Let the chicken rest after grilling to retain its juiciness.
