How To Make chicken breast with cajun cream sauce

Step 1

Cut slits in the chicken breast in a diamond pattern not all the way through.

Step 2

Mix the salt, paprika, Cajun seasoning, oregano and black pepper together. Rub the chicken breast with the seasoning then drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil over the breast and rub it all over. Set aside.
Step 3

Add the remaining olive oil in a large saute pan. Add 2 tbsp of butter. Once hot, add the chicken breast and brown on each side for about 4 minutes each side. Remove to a plate.
Step 4

Add the remaining butter and add the onion and garlic. Cook about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Boil 15 minutes. Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, and parsley. Add the chicken back to the pan and cook covered 10 minutes.
Step 5

Remove the chicken to rest and boil the sauce another 5 minutes to reduce more. Pour sauce over chicken breast and garnish with parsley.
