  • ZOODLES
  • 4 zucchini
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • CREAMY CAJUN
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
  • 4 teaspoons cajun seasoning (see recipe above or use favorite blend)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or ghee
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup red onion, chopped

How To Make creamy cajun with zoodles

  • Step 1
    Put all cajun seasoning ingredients into a mini blender, grind until powder consistency. Omit this step if you don't mind the texture of the oregano and thyme. Personally, I don't like it getting caught in my teeth. You can also use a favorite pre-made cajun seasoning mix instead of making your own.
  • Step 2
    Heat oven to 250. Place paper towel on a rimmed baking sheet. Make zucchini into zoodles. I use an Ontel Veggetti Spiral Vegetable Slicer. Place zoodles on paper towel and sprinkle 1/2 t salt over the top. Bake at 250 for 20 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Coat the chicken pieces with the cajun seasoning and set aside.
  • Step 4
    Heat butter in cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onions, and garlic. Saute about 3-4 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Add the chicken, sear on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add sausage and cook another 2 minutes. Add the broth and use a whisk to scrape the bits from the bottom. Mix in the cheese, then add the cream. Simmer on low 5 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Serve over zoodles.
