Ingredients

Scale
  • 800 g Chicken Breast (cut into halves)
  • 1.5 Tsp Cajun Seasoning Mix
  • 2 Tsp Olive Oil
  • 25 g Grass Fed Butter for Cooking
  • 1 Medium Red Onion (chopped)
  • 4–5 Garlic Cloves (chopped)
  • 150 g Light Cream Cheese
  • 40 g Parmesan
  • 250 ml Milk

  • 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp Onion Powder

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken breast pieces overnight with 1.5 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning and 2 teaspoons of olive oil, ensuring complete coverage.
  2. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and melt 25 grams of grass-fed butter.
  3. Cook the marinated chicken in the pan until a crispy, golden crust forms. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  4. In the same pan, sauté the chopped red onion and garlic cloves until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the remaining Cajun seasoning and mix until well-blended.
  6. Lower the heat and melt an additional 15 grams of butter. Gradually whisk in 250 ml of milk, heating until warm.
  7. Add the light cream cheese and Parmesan, stirring until the sauce becomes smooth in texture.
  8. Serve by layering the Cajun rice on a plate, topping with sliced chicken, and drizzling the creamy sauce on top.
  9. Garnish generously with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer longer. You can also use lactose-free cream cheese or low-fat yogurt for a lighter option.
