Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in all-purpose flour, ensuring they are lightly coated, and shake off any excess flour.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well combined.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 more minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the New Orleans Chicken with Creamy Wine Sauce over cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a complete meal.
