Cajun Chicken Recipe

Serves: 3
Total Time: around 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the chicken:

• 3 chicken breasts

• 2 tbsp oil

• 3 tbsp Louisiana Cajun Rub

For the sauce:

• 30 g butter

• 1 tbsp Louisiana Cajun Rub

• 200 ml cooking cream

Instructions

1. Season the chicken

Add the chicken breasts to a bowl. Drizzle with oil and generously coat with the Louisiana Cajun Rub. Make sure every side is covered to get that full Cajun flavour.

2. Cook the chicken

Heat a pan until hot and cook the chicken breasts for 4 minutes on each side.
Remove them from the pan once golden and cooked through.

3. Make the creamy Cajun sauce

In the same hot pan, melt the butter.
Add 1 tablespoon of Louisiana Cajun Rub and cook for about 1 minute, letting the spices release their aroma.
Pour in the cooking cream and reduce the heat.
Simmer gently until the sauce thickens—this takes about a minute.

4. Combine everything

Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the pan.
Coat them in the creamy Cajun sauce and cook for one more minute so the flavours blend beautifully.

5. Serve

Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, pasta, or fresh salad.
Spoon extra sauce on top—it’s too delicious to leave behind.
