Description

A tantalizing and satisfying creamy Cajun chicken dish that is quick to prepare, perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast (boneless and skinless)
  • 2 tbsp Cajun Seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are well-covered.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then pour in the cream.
  4. Stir the sauce and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to soak in the flavorful sauce for another minute or two.
  6. Plate your chicken, smother it in the sauce, and enjoy!

Notes

For a dairy-free version, consider using half-and-half or coconut cream.
