1. Prepare Chicken: Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.
2. Season Chicken: In a small bowl, mix Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mix generously over both sides of the chicken breasts.
3. Heat Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until hot.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear on one side for about 6-7 minutes until browned.
5. Flip Chicken: Turn the chicken to cook the other side for another 6-7 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest Chicken: Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute.
