Cajun cuisine, known for its bold and zesty flavours, blends French, African, and Native American influences. With robust seasonings like paprika, cayenne pepper, and garlic, Cajun food delivers a delightful kick in every bite, offering a rich, flavorful experience.
This Cajun Chicken Salad recipe captures these exciting flavours in a quick and convenient dish, using our Ready Cooked Chicken Breasts to speed up the cooking process.
Combining juicy, spiced chicken with fresh vegetables and a tangy dressing, it’s a nutritious option perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner, bringing the vibrant taste of Cajun cuisine to your table effortlessly.
Method:
1. On a large chopping board slice horizontally across the chicken breast to open it up. Add the salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne pepper and paprika to both sides of each chicken breast.
2. Meanwhile, place a large frying pan on a medium-high heat with some olive oil and once the pan is hot enough, add the chicken breasts and cook for 3 minutes on each side (or until thoroughly re-heated).
3. Do the same with a separate frying pan and add the red onion and tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Cook the corn on the cob according to packet instructions, then drain and slice the kernels off by placing it vertically on a secure chopping board and slicing downwards using a serrated knife.
5. In a small bowl mix together the yoghurt and chipotle paste and then slice the cooked chicken.
6. Assemble the salad leaves in a large bowl, add the other ingredients then drizzle over a few spoonfuls of the dressing and serve the Chicken Salad.

KEEPING YOUR FREEZER SELLING HARD
Maintaining a high-performing freezer is crucial for maximising sales and ensuring optimal stock levels. Here are some invaluable tips for our wholesale stockists to keep your freezer selling hard:
Top-Up Feature: Implement a top-up strategy to ensure your best sellers remain consistently stocked. Regularly monitor inventory levels and replenish popular items promptly to meet customer demand.
Backup Freezer Strategy: Consider acquiring a backup freezer from platforms like Facebook selling sites or reputable retailers such as Currys. This backup can serve as overflow storage, allowing you to capitalise on lowercase prices by placing larger orders, thereby keeping your stock levels robust.
Follow FIFO (First In, First Out): Adhere to the FIFO principle to manage your inventory efficiently. Arrange products so the oldest stock is positioned at the front, ensuring that items with shorter shelf lives are sold first, reducing waste and maintaining product freshness.
Defrost Regularly: Keep an eye on frost accumulation in your freezers, and initiate defrosting when they look icy. To minimise downtime during defrosting, repurpose your delivery liners and ice packs as temporary storage overnight. This not only streamlines the defrosting process but also ensures your products remain in optimal condition.
