I served this chicken over canned lentils that had been added to sautéed onions and mushrooms. I added some of the cajun spice mix to the lentils to give them a bit of a kick. The cajun blackened chicken thighs dish would go well with rice (brown or white) or roasted potatoes. When it comes to baked chicken, I always choose chicken thighs over chicken breasts. Chicken thighs are moist and tender and perfect for oven baking.
