One of my go to is Creamy Cajun Chicken.
Mise en place
2x large chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon + 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
Flour for dredging
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic (Minced)
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy/whipping cream
1/2 up freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt + pepper to taste
Method
- Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have four thinner cutlets. Sprinkle them with salt & 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'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 & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
I tend to go a bit heavy on the cream, as I'm the kind of person who likes more sauce. Generally I serve with rice, but you can serve with vegetables of your choice.
