Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bites
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 200 g broccolini
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry, season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Cajun seasoning. Coat in Parmesan and breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high. Pan-sear chicken until golden, 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Notes
For extra crispy chicken, bake in the oven at 400°F for 5 minutes after pan-searing. Add crushed red pepper for a spicier Alfredo kick.
