Put the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and seal all but one corner.
Pound the chicken using a meat mallet or heavy pot until the breasts are 1 cm thick.
Mix the Cajun seasoning and salt, then add to the bag with the chicken. Seal the bag and shake to coat the chicken in the seasoning.

Take the chicken out of the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
