Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup Bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 cups Spinach
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
