This Creamy Cajun Chicken & Rice features, juicy chicken breasts seasoned with a blend of spices, served over a bed of Cajun seasoned rice and topped with creamy Cajun Alfredo sauce.
0 Prep Work- Start by cooking the rice, cook it per the package instructions based on the measurements of how many people you are cooking for. If the chicken breasts are thick, slice them horizontally into two equal size pieces.
1 Season the chicken breasts on both sides with Cajun seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. You can season with how much or how little seasonings you prefer.
2 In a hot skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil and the chicken breast, let the chicken sear for 3-4 minutes before flipping. Cooking time will vary based on thickness so cook it until the internal temp reaches 165 degrees. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3 With a paper towel soak up the excess olive oil from the skillet and add the butter. Let the butter melt and add the heavy whipping cream, stirring to combine. Season the mixture with Cajun seasoning, paprika, pepper, and stir to combine. Add parmesan cheese and stir continuously until it develops a creamy texture. Turn off the heat and pour most of the sauce into a separate bowl, leave a small amount of sauce in the skillet.
4 Add cooked rice to the skillet and season with Cajun seasoning and paprika. Combine the rice and sauce that is left in the skillet. Slice chicken breasts up into thin pieces. Serve the chicken over a bed of rice and top with as much sauce as desired. Enjoy!
