Creamy Cajun Rice & Chicken

 4 large chicken breasts

Cajun seasoning

1 T oil

Butter

Rice: 

6 cups cooked rice

1 T Cajun seasoning

1/2 onion, finely diced

4 garlic cloves

2 T butter

Sauce: 

2 c half and half

2 T butter

1 c shredded Parmesan 

2-3 cloves garlic

1/2 T Cajun seasoning.

Note: adjust seasoning to taste, some Cajun seasonings are pretty spicy.

Split chicken breasts, pound flat, and coat in olive oil. Generously season with Cajun seasoning. Fry in melted butter until golden brown on each side, then bake in oven at 400 until juices run clear.

In same pan, deglaze if needed. Cook onions and garlic in butter until softened, then add seasoning. Stir in rice and allow to sit 10 minutes.

Sauce: Melt butter in saucepan, then cook garlic until fragrant. Add half and half and Cajun seasoning. When bubbles begin to form on the edges of the pan, add Parmesan and stir. Sauce will be sort of thin.
