Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Dan-O’s Cajun seasoning
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped bacon (optional)
- 1 onion, diced
- ½ cup corn kernels
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Preparation Instructions
- Crank up the heat! Preheat your oven to a sizzling 350°F.
- Season it up, Cajun-style! Take those chicken breasts and give 'em a generous rubdown with Dan-O’s Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
- Get the skillet ready for action! Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, toss in the chicken breasts and let them get a nice golden tan, about 5 minutes on each side. Then, set ‘em aside for their final act.
- Time to bring the color! Toss those red bell peppers and onion into the same skillet. Sauté until they're soft and juicy, around 5 minutes.
- Let’s add some garlic magic! Throw in the minced garlic and let it mingle for a minute. You know it smells amazing!
- Make it saucy! Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, add the 2 tbsp Dan-O's Cajun Seasoning and stir it all together into one rich, creamy mixture. Add the corn kernels and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Chicken, meet sauce! Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with some spoonfuls of that creamy goodness.
- Off to the oven! Slide the skillet (make sure it’s oven proof or transfer to a baking dish) into your preheated oven and let the magic happen for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is perfectly cooked.
- Finish with flair! Garnish with some fresh parsley and chopped bacon for that pop of color and extra flavor. Now you’ve got a Dantastic® dish ready to wow!
