Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the Cajun seasoning.
Heat the oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until beginning to smoke then add the chicken to the pan and cook about 6 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked through.
Place the cooked chicken breasts on a plate and set aside.
Pull the quinoa salad from the refrigerator and divide between two plates.
