Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1⁄2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch broccolini
Salt, to taste
Instructions
1. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks. In a bowl, mix grated parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, and minced garlic. Toss chicken pieces to coat thoroughly.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add coated chicken in a single layer. Sear until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. Lower heat to medium. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon butter, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté until fragrant. Stir in Cajun seasoning and heavy cream. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until thickened. Add the chicken back to coat in sauce.
4. In a separate hot pan, heat olive oil and cook broccolini until lightly charred but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
5. Plate chicken over pasta, rice, or roasted potatoes. Spoon extra sauce on top. Serve with charred broccolini.
Notes
This recipe serves 4 people generously.
To reheat, add a splash of cream to restore the Alfredo texture.
You can substitute shrimp or tofu for the chicken.
