Ingredients
Scale
For the Cajun Chicken:
- 2 large chicken breasts (or 4 boneless thighs)
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
For the Broccoli Alfredo Sauce:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning (optional for extra spice)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry and coat it with Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp: 165°F/75°C). Remove and let it rest.
- Cook the Broccoli: Boil or steam broccoli for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in heavy cream and simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Cook until thickened.
- Combine Everything: Slice the chicken, then add it and the broccoli to the Alfredo sauce. Stir to coat everything well.
- Serve: Taste, adjust seasoning, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Adjust spice level by adding more or less Cajun seasoning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in a skillet with a splash of heavy cream to keep the sauce creamy.
