Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.

  • 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.
