A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, featuring a creamy sauce with a hint of Cajun spice and fresh vegetables.
Prepare the chicken by seasoning it with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning for consistent flavor.
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and celery until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Add the chicken broth, cream, paprika, and garlic powder to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Whisk the sauce to ensure a smooth consistency.
Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Check the chicken for doneness by cutting into the thickest part.
Serve the chicken with the sauce and vegetables, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve with rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
