This is an easy to prepare low carb meal! All you need is a small oven, a non-stick pan and viola! one meal in 30-40 mins (depending on how fast your speed is). This recipe serves 2.

Cajun Chicken

2-3 tbsp of paprika (mild)

1 tbsp of lemon pepper blend

half tsp salt

crushed black pepper to taste

2 chicken breast

1. Preheat the oven to 190 degree celcius.

2. In a medium bowl, mix the paprika, lemon pepper blend, salt and crushed black pepper evenly to form the cajun spice mix.

3. Coat the chicken breast evenly with the Cajun spice mix.

4. Place the Cajun spice coated chicken breast onto a baking pan lined with aluminium foil. Bring the sides of the aluminium foil together wrapping the chicken in it. If the foil is not large enough, cover the opening with more foil.

5. Bake in the oven for 25-30 mins or until the chicken is cooked.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the cherry tomato and mango sides.

Cherry Tomato and Mango Sides

1 small to medium mango

6-8 cherry tomatoes

2-3 tbsp of slivered almonds

2 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese

1. In a nonstick pan on low heat, lightly toast almonds till lightly brown and fragrant. Put aside in a small bowl.

2. Using the same nonstick pan, turn the heat to medium-high. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and "pan grill" them till slightly charred cut side down first before flipping over. Put on the sides of the serving plates.

3. Dice the mango and pan fry in the nonstick pan and add a dash of nutmeg. Remove the mango cubes after about 20-30 seconds or they'll turn to mush. Place mango on sides of the serving plates next to the tomatoes.
