Cajun Chicken Cutlets. Of course, if a dish uses cajun seasoning – you know it’s going to pack a bite. But if you think it’s still not going to be hot enough, just add in a couple dashes of sriracha sauce.

Low Carb Cajun Chicken Cutlets with Spaghetti Squash
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, coconut flour, cajun seasoning, roasted red peppers, and salt. If you want more heat, now is the time to add a dash or two of sriracha sauce. Place the chicken breast on the baking sheet and brush the tops evenly with the mayonnaise mixture.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 165 degrees and the juices run clear. If additional browning is desired, broil for 2 to 3 minutes more.
Serve the cutlets over spaghetti squash and you’ve got yourself one delicious and low carb meal – all made from pan to plate in under 30 minutes.
QUICK AND EASY SPAGHETTI SQUASH – cut the squash in half, remove the strings and seeds. Place one-half upside down on a paper towel-lined plate, and zap it in the microwave for 5-6 minutes. Repeat with the other half. The cooked spaghetti strands can easily be scraped out with a fork. Just be careful and use a potholder because the outer shell of the squash is VERY HOT at this point.
