  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  3. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
  5. Add chicken broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits.
  6. Stir in cream, Parmesan, paprika, onion powder, oregano, and chili flakes.

Notes

  • Adjust Cajun seasoning for preferred spice level.
  • Chicken thighs can be used for a juicier option.
  • Add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for variation.
  • Use half-and-half instead of cream for a lighter version.
  • Keep heat moderate to prevent sauce from separating.
