Notes

For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or milk. Consider marinating the chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before cooking for extra tenderness. This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of cream to prevent drying out. Customize the heat level by adjusting the Cajun seasoning or adding fresh jalapeños for a spicier kick. Enhance the flavors by adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
