 This Cajun Tilapia or Chicken Breast recipe is super easy, zero points on the WW blue and purple plan, and they are absolutely delicious! My family really aren’t seafood lovers, so I usually use chicken breasts when I make this but every now and then I will make the tilapia version for me when I get it on sale at the grocery store.

How do I make these Zero Point Cajun Tilapia or Chicken Breasts?

Mix all seasonings in a shallow bowl or plate.

Press both sides of fillet or breasts into seasoning.

Spray a large grill skillet ( I use this cast iron grill skillet) with non stick cooking spray and heat on medium high. Cook fillets or chicken for 5-6 minutes on both sides or until fish or chicken is completely cooked through.

Serve over rice or cauliflower rice and your favorite roasted or steamed vegetable such as my Roasted Broccoli, steamed or air fried asparagus, or my Caramelized Brussel Sprouts.

 

Ingredients:

  • 4 tilapia fillets or 4 (4 oz.) thinly sliced, boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 
  • 2 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 Tbsp onion powder 

 

Directions:

  1. Mix all seasonings in a shallow bowl or plate. 
  2. Press both sides of fillet or breasts into seasoning. 
  3. Spray a large cast iron grill skillet with non stick cooking spray ( or using an outdoor grill ) grill chicken or fillets on medium high. Continue to cook fillets or chicken for 6-7 minutes on both sides or until fish or chicken is completely cooked through.
  4. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice and your favorite roasted or steamed vegetable such as my Roasted Broccoli, steamed or air fried asparagus, or my Caramelized Brussel Sprouts.

Notes

  1. In order to calculate the smart points on a recipe you have to enter the ingredients in manually (by ingredient) not by the nutritional information in the ww recipe builder-since this recipe contains zero point items the app doesn’t realize there is zero point items in the recipe and will calculate it based only off the nutritional info which is not accurate.

This was delicious! I’m wondering why I’m getting points with the paprika when I put it in my recipe builder though. ‍♀️
