Creamy Cilantro Chicken
Ingredients
- chicken breasts (6 )
- Cajun seasoning (1 tablespoon)
- salt (0 )
- black pepper (0 )
- olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- green onions (4 )
- red bell pepper (1 )
- chicken broth (2 cups)
- dry white wine (0.25 cup)
- heavy cream (0.75 cup)
- cherry tomatoes (0.5 cup)
- cilantro (0.5 cup)
Instructions
- Pat chicken breasts dry and sprinkle with 1/2 of the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the very hot oil and cook, turning occasionally, until juices run clear when pricked with a fork and both sides are browned, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside, reserving drippings in the skillet.
- Add green onions and bell pepper to the drippings in the skillet. Cook until tender, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth and wine and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Simmer until juices have reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes more. Add cream and continue to simmer to reduce slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cilantro, along with the remaining Cajun seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet, cover, and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes more.
