Ingredients
- 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)
- 1.5 tsp Cajun Seasoning Mix (divided)
- Fresh Parsley (for garnish)
- 15 g Grass Fed Butter
- 250 ml Milk
- 150 g Light Cream Cheese
- 40 g Parmesan
Instructions
- Begin marinating the chicken breast pieces overnight with 1.5 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning mix and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Ensure each piece is well coated.
- When ready to cook, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Melt 25 grams of grass-fed butter in the pan.
- Cook the marinated chicken until it develops a crispy, golden crust. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- In the same pan, sauté the chopped red onion and garlic cloves until they become fragrant.
- Add the remaining Cajun seasoning mix to the pan. Add day-old rice and stir until well coated with the flavors.
- Lower the heat and melt an additional 15 grams of butter in the pan. Gradually whisk in the 250 ml of milk.
- Once warm, add in the light cream cheese and Parmesan, stirring until the sauce achieves a smooth texture.
- Layer the Cajun rice on a plate, top it with the sliced chicken, and drizzle the creamy sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Use fresh spices and quality chicken for the best flavor. Marinate properly for maximum flavor infusion.
