Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Season the chicken breasts generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add the diced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
