Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the sliced onion and bell peppers to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
