How to Make Cajun Chicken

It’s very simple and easy! Simply pound chicken evenly to about 1/2 inch thick (this helps with even and faster cooking). Season lightly with salt and pepper, as Cajun seasoning already has salt added. Then place chicken a Ziploc bag, along with some olive oil and the Cajun seasoning. Seal the bag and shake to distribute evenly.

Easy Creamy Alfredo Sauce from Scratch

Traditionally, Alfredo sauce is made of only butter and parmesan. This Cajun Chicken Alfredo recipe also calls for heavy cream, which adds creaminess and richness. So definitely not 100% Italian authentic, ha! But surely delicious and creamy.

  Alfredo Sauce

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups parmesan cheese grated
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream divided
