Instructions
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet and add onions to it.
Cook the onions on low to medium heat for 5 minutes or until evenly brown.
Add tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, and sea salt, and give it a good stir.
Then, add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook slightly on both sides until lightly charred.
Pour water, cover, and cook everything for 15 minutes on medium heat.
Add a little more water halfway if required. Flip the filets, cover them, and cook the chicken until the water evaporates.
Turn off the heat and transfer the chicken breasts to a bowl.
Let them rest for about 2 minutes, and shred with forks.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shredded chicken and return it to the skillet, mixing well with the remaining gravy.
Serve the chicken shreds over crisp lettuce and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
