Cajun Chicken Bento
The closest I’ve ever come to Cajun cooking is the Cajun Chicken Fingers at TGI Fridays. Still, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying a hearty dash of Cajun seasoning on just about anything. Fries, popcorn, fish. Anything! Today’s victim however, was a Chicken Breast Fillet.

Back Tier:
• Rice with vegetable furikake
Front Tier:
• Cajun Chicken Breast Fillets
• Tomato Wedges
• Cucumber and Cream Cheese Salad, as demonstrated at one of my favorite bento blog & resource sites, Lunch-in-a-Box.
One of the quickest ways to cook filleted chicken, all I did was to liberally dust the fillet with Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning, then lightly pan-fry in very little oil. This way, the chicken was moist and retained lots of flavor even though I didn’t marinate it. Imagine serving it with a side of freshly fried potato wedges dusted with Cajun seasoning as well. Love! I can’t imagine what I’d do when it runs out. I only have one big canister at home, thanks to one of my aunts from the States, but then, I guess I can ask her to send me some more when it does run out.

I just LOVe ur bento’s. They always look fresh and delicious!
Thanks! I’m blessed with good natural lighting around the house; a benefit of living in the suburbs.
I must try that salad one of these days. Really
By the way, where’d you get your lunchbox? It’s nice looking
SM for 99 PESOS!
It’s one of my first bento boxes, but I think there’s still a couple at SM Makati. It’s kinda small but it’s enough food for me. It has 2 tiers, with the upper tier having a removable separate section. It comes with a bento band too, and is available in yellow and green.
Ooooh! MUST get one. I think I saw it na nung weekend lang. In SM Megamall. It’s almost June so I expected to see some bento boxes hehe. I still pine for the Tiger brand… But it’s soo expensive. Waah. Pero the designs are so pretty and they are quite functional.
Ish a loverly, albeit small bento. Is the Tiger a thermal? I keep promising myself a pretty thermal bento set but when the time comes to spend, I keep cringing at the price. Especially since I rotate boxes a lot.
It is thermal. The cheapest set I found was 900-ish. Too bad that the ones I saw before were already sold. The boxes and the bag were all in pastel colors.
Do you want a Tiger in particular, or will you settle for other nice thermal sets? Cause the new thermal ones by Thermos is cheaper, a bento-style box shaped like this green one is 600 bucks. I also saw some Mr. Bento-style ones, but I didn’t really check the price since I already have a set I’ve fallen in love with. Still. 1.3k! *inhale, inhale*
Mebbe after payday
