How to make this creamy cajun chicken

• First, season your chicken – Rub the chicken with Cajun seasoning, some salt, and pepper.
• Next, pan sear – In a skillet with oil, pan sear the chicken – about 5 mins per side – until cooked through. Set aside
• Then, make the cream sauce – To the pan, first oil and garlic add the chicken broth and simmer. Finally, stir in the cream cheese and Cajun seasoning.
• Combine – Add the chicken to the sauce, simmer and allow to thicken.
• Finally, top with Parmesan, serve, and enjoy!

recipe notes and tips

• You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs but adjust the cooking time as needed.
• To check your chicken is done it’s always best to use a meat thermometer. Stick the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken, if it reads 165F then it’s done.
• Ideally opt for low salt Cajun seasoning, to control your sodium intake.
• You can use full-fat or low-fat cream cheese.
• It’s best to use a deeper pan/skillet, so your sauce doesn’t overflow!
• If your chicken breasts are on the thick side, consider slicing them lengthwise so that you have 2 pieces that are half as thick.
• Top with some fresh parsley for a pop of freshness.
