The Cook's Take:

The product looks like restaurant quality and tastes just as great.

It's easy to prepare and doesn't need a lot of ingredients.

It's something to make when showing your parents you learned more than how to learn chords on a guitar.

This recipe is also perfect if trying to impress your significant other.

Although this entree may be difficult to prepare if living in the dorms, it is worth the effort if a stove and oven are available.

I've never grilled anything before, so I was a little nervous about burning down my house. But it's a lot easier than I expected.

Although the chicken took a little while to cook, it gave me enough time to start the other ingredients. And by the time everything was ready, the chicken was finished.

But make sure to check up on it every couple of minutes so it doesn't burn.

Even if you don't like spicy food, the Cajun spices gives this simple meal a little extra flavor without burning your throat.
