Ingredients

Scale
  • 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 tbsp Cajun Seasoning Mix
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 25 g Grass Fed Butter for Cooking
  • 1 Medium Red Onion (chopped)
  • 4–5 Garlic Cloves (chopped)
  • 1/2 tbsp Cajun Seasoning Mix
  • Fresh Parsley (for garnish)
  • 15 g Grass Fed Butter
  • 250 ml Milk
  • 150 g Light Cream Cheese
  • 40 g Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken breast pieces overnight with Cajun Seasoning Mix and olive oil, ensuring they’re well coated.
  2. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and melt the grass-fed butter. Cook the marinated chicken until crispy and golden brown. Let it rest before slicing.
  3. In the same pan, sauté the chopped red onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the remaining Cajun Seasoning Mix and stir in the day-old rice.
  4. Lower the heat, melt the butter, and whisk in the milk. Once warmed, add light cream cheese and Parmesan, stirring until smooth.
  5. Layer the Cajun rice on a plate, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle creamy sauce over it. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Use day-old rice for better frying and flavor absorption.
