  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese

  1. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning over the chicken breasts and rub to coat the chicken in the seasoning.

Notes

Some Cajun seasonings are quite salty and others are not. Taste your seasoning blend and adjust accordingly. We use and love Tony's seasoning.
