Other Ingredients Used:

Chicken breast:-( 1 boneless /skinless)
Olive oil :- 3tbsp
Salt /pepper :- to taste
Soft taco shells :- 6-6 inch
Iceberg lettuce :- 1cup chopped
Tomatoes:- 3/4 cup diced
Cheddar cheese :- shredded 1cup
Cilantro :- 2tbsp

Steps Involved in Cooking:

1 .Slice the chicken breast in half to create two thinner, flatter slices
2 .Rub all sides of each piece of chicken with the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper, as well as one of the Tablespoons of olive oil
3 .Take last two Tablespoons of olive oil and add it to a large skillet, (preferably cast iron), over medium-high heat
4 .Once the oil is heated and glistening, add the chicken slices
5 .Place the side closest to you down first to avoid hot oil from splattering on you and be careful. You should hear a good sizzle from the pan though
6 .Refrain from touching the chicken for about 5 minutes so that the bottom gets a nice, golden sear
7 .Even if it blackens a bit, that is fine
8 .Lift one of the corners up to ensure it’s reached the colour that you want. If it sticks, it's not ready to be flipped yet
9 .Once you've ensured that it is ready, flip each piece over. Cook for another 4 minutes or so, then remove the chicken from the heat
10 .Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before you dice it, this ensures the middle stays nice and juicy
11 .While the chicken rests, place a hard taco shell in the middle of a soft taco shell. Arrange all six tacos so that they are standing, this makes them easier to fill
12 .I used two of these baskets that each held three tacos. You can also use a casserole dish with higher walls
13 .Add the lettuce to each hard taco shell, allow some to spill into the soft taco shell. Then add the tomatoes
14 .Dice the chicken into small squares and add it to the tacos
15 .Top with cheese, then drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve it up!
