Chicken in Creamy Cajun Sauce

Juicy chicken and crisp vegetables in a wonderfully creamy Cajun sauce.
Chicken in Cajun sauce can be on the table in under 30 minutes, and it delivers a great deal of flavour and substance.
If you follow the timings in the recipe, your vegetables will keep a pleasant bite, which goes beautifully with the creamy sauce.
Season the chicken breasts and then dust them in flour – it gives them a lovely golden crust when they are fried.
You can make everything in the same pan, as in the recipe – or fry the chicken breasts in a separate pan; it is entirely up to you.
Serve your chicken in Cajun sauce with boiled rice, potatoes, gnocchi or your favourite pasta.
Cajun seasoning/Cajun spice mix is available in larger supermarkets or online, but you can also blend your own using this recipe for homemade Cajun seasoning – click here.

Method

Pan-fried chicken

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and a little Cajun seasoning, then dust them in plain flour.
  • Melt the butter with the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through.
    Set the chicken aside on a plate, loosely covered with foil.

Creamy Cajun sauce with vegetables

  • In the same pan, fry the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent.
    Add a little extra oil if needed.
  • Then add the peppers and cook for a couple of minutes before sprinkling over the Cajun seasoning and cooking for about a minute more.
  • Add the tomato purée and stir it well into the vegetables, then pour in the cream and the chopped tomatoes.
  • Heat the sauce through for 5 minutes, then add the Parmesan.
  • Let the sauce simmer for a further couple of minutes and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, scatter over the fresh jalapeños and serve with boiled rice, potatoes or pasta.
    If you are plating individually, you can skip returning the chicken to the pan and arrange it on the plates instead – unless you want to warm the chicken through in the sauce.

    Endnu en super lækker ret fra dig
    Nem at tilberede
    Jeg havde kyllingebryst som jeg havde skåret i mundrette stykker. Det gik fint med at bruge det i denne opskrift

  2. Det lyder lækkert. Det vil jeg prøve. På billedet har du drysset med forårsløg – eller ser jeg forkert?

    • Hej Åse

      Tusind tak 🙂 Helt rigtigt ja, forårsløg og hakket frisk jalapenos 🙂
      Jeg har en ting med altid at drysse noget på toppen 😉

      Warm wishes, Dianna

    Hej Diana
    Jeg vil gerne serverer denne spændende ret imorgen kan jeg mon lave den i god tid, så den lige skal varmes op ?
    Tak for alle dine lækre opskrifter

    • Hej Lisbeth

      Det kan du sagtens ja – bare varm den forsigtigt op så kylling ikke bliver kedelig 🙂
      Og tak for de søde ord, det gør mig så glad at høre:)

      Warm wishes, Dianna

  4. Martin Larsen

    Hvilken slags fløde?

    • Hej Martin

      Jeg bruger almindelig piskefløde, men du kan også bruge et lettere alternativ som creme fine eller lignende 🙂

      Warm wishes, Dianna

    Jeg gav altså retten 5 stjerner:)

    Virkelig lækker ret med masser af god smag. Jeg brugte mascarpone i stedet for fløde og blendede sovsen, da mine drenge ikke bryder sig om peberfrugter. Det gjorde bestemt ikke retten dårligere. Ikke sidste gang vi laver den!

  8. 5 stars
    Både mine gæster og jeg var vilde med maden

  9. Hej Diana.
    Tror du man kan lave retten i stor gryde?
    Vi laver tit dine one pot men i gryde da vi altid laver store portioner☺️

  10. Birgit Dalsgaard

    Kan du anbefale en salat til kylling i cremet cajun
    sauce?

    • Hej Birgit

      Uhhh jeg vil nok gå med en form for rucolasalat, – en enkelt én af slagsen med friske tomater, parmesan, pinjekerner og evt. agurk 🙂
      Det vil gå rigtig godt til retten 🙂

      Warm wishes, Dianna

  11. Christina

    Hvis man nu ikke er den største parmesan-fan, hvad tænker du så, man kan udskifte den med?

    • Hej Christina

      Altså du kan skifte den ud med en anden hår ost, – men er det selve smagen som ikke tiltaler dig ved de hårde oste, så undlader du den bare.
      Du kan evt. tilsætte lidt revet mozzarella for at gøre saucen “ostet” 🙂

      Warm wishes, Dianna

    Hej
