Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Black Pepper
- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tsp Onion Powder
- 1 Tsp Oregano
- 1 Tsp Thyme
- 1 Tsp Paprika
- 1 Tsp Chilli Powder
- 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)
- 1/2 Tsp Cajun Seasoning Mix
- Fresh Parsley (for garnish)
- 15 g Grass Fed Butter
- 250 ml Milk
- 150 g Light Cream Cheese
- 40 g Parmesan
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken breast pieces overnight with the Cajun Seasoning Mix and olive oil, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and melt the grass-fed butter. Cook the marinated chicken until it develops a crispy, golden crust, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let the chicken rest before slicing.
- In the same pan, sauté the chopped red onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add remaining Cajun Seasoning and toss in day-old rice.
- Lower heat and melt the 15 g of butter, then whisk in the milk. Once warmed, add light cream cheese and Parmesan, stirring until the sauce is smooth.
- Layer Cajun rice on a plate, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle creamy sauce over. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Marinate the chicken the night before for maximum flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
