Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 800 g Chicken Breast cut into halves
  • 1.5 tsp Cajun Seasoning Mix
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 25 g Grass Fed Butter for Cooking
  • 1 medium Red Onion chopped
  • 4-5 cloves Garlic chopped
  • 0.5 tsp Cajun Seasoning Mix
  • 15 g Grass Fed Butter
  • 250 ml Milk
  • 150 g Light Cream Cheese
  • 40 g Parmesan
  • 1 bunch Fresh Parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken breast pieces overnight with the Cajun Seasoning Mix and olive oil.
  2. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and melt the grass-fed butter. Cook the marinated chicken until it develops a crispy, golden crust.
  3. In the same pan, sauté the chopped red onion and garlic cloves until fragrant. Add the remaining Cajun Seasoning Mix and toss in day-old rice.
  4. Lower the heat and melt more butter in the pan. Add another bit of Cajun Seasoning Mix, then slowly whisk in milk until warmed through.
  5. Layer your Cajun rice on a plate, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle the creamy sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley.
