Instructions

1.	In a bowl, combine the oil, white wine, and Cajun seasoning to make a marinade.

3.	Heat up the grill to medium-high heat and grease the grates with cooking spray or oil.
4.	Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off the excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
5.	Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer. Keep an eye on the chicken to make sure it doesn't burn.
6.	Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
