Description

A comforting meal combining tender chicken, rich cream sauce, and perfectly cooked rice, ideal for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  3. Serve the creamy Cajun chicken over a bed of cooked rice.
  4. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
  5. Enjoy as a satisfying meal prep option!

Notes

For best results, cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking and monitor sauce thickness to prevent it from becoming too runny.
