creamy cajun chicken

This creamy Cajun chicken recipe has juicy, golden, pan-fried chicken in a zingy cream sauce. It&#x27;s ready in only 30 minutes! 

Creamy Cajun Chicken

chicken breasts (sliced in half lengthwise)

Salt & pepper (to taste)

garlic powder

Flour

butter

olive oil

garlic (minced)

sun-dried tomatoes

chicken broth

heavy/whipping cream

parmesan cheese

Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have four thinner cutlets. Sprinkle them with salt &amp; pepper, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning. Coat them in flour.

Add the butter and oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken. Cook it for 4-5 min/side or until it&#x27;s nice and golden. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.

Add the minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken broth to the pan. Let it bubble for about 30 seconds or so.

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the cream and remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning.

Add the chicken back into the pan and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the sauce is thickened a bit and the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over top (or stir it into the sauce). Season with salt &amp; pepper as needed and serve immediately.

This creamy cajun chicken is a dinner you&#39;ll make again and again. Spiced chicken is simmered in a creamy sauce loaded with veggies!

chicken breasts

Cajun seasoning

onion

green bell pepper

rib celery (chopped)

garlic

¼ cup freshly grated parmesan

parsley

Season

Prep the chicken. Season both sides of each chicken breast with the Cajun seasoning.

Sear

Sear the chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and set aside.

Saute

Saute the veggies. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil along with the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes, until the veggies have softened. Add the garlic and saute for another minute.

Stir

Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stir together, and bring to a simmer.

Simmer

Let it simmer. Place the chicken back in the skillet and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley before serving.
