Notes
- Ensure to season the chicken with Cajun spices generously and cook it until golden brown for optimal flavor, while also allowing the chicken to rest before slicing to retain its juices.
- When making the creamy sauce, gradually incorporate the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to achieve the desired creaminess, and adjust the heat to prevent the sauce from curdling while also adding bell peppers and onions for extra flavor and texture.
