Equipment

  • oven-safe skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon paprika
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  • In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add diced onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Lower the heat and add heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
  • Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
