Cajun Chicken and Chips was de-li-cious! It was so good my son went back for my leftovers too. My little family and I loved it. It’s was easy to prepare and cook. I would also tell you that it makes yummy leftovers but there were none for me. So I’m guessing it would make a great lunch the next day too. If you love a bit of spice then this dinner will surely become a new favourite. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
