Cajun Chicken
Cajun seasoning is one of my favorite ways to jazz up everything from chicken and seafood to deviled eggs and soups. The blend of spices – oregano, thyme, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne – gives you a crispy browned crust on the outside with tender juicy meat inside.
In a large skillet, coat the chicken in the Cajun seasoning and sear it on all sides until golden brown. Remove from the skillet, add the veggies and cook until softened. Stir in the cream and simmer a couple minutes. Then add the Parmesan and lime juice. Nestle the chicken back into the sauce. The result is an easy healthy dinner that the whole family will love.
