Baked Chicken Breast with Cajun Seasoning:

When creamy sweetness meets the spicy Cajun seasoning the result is this Baked Cajun Chicken. The flavor lies in the sauce. It's a lightly spicy, creamy, sweet, and with a touch of tangy - thanks to the Sun-Dried Tomatoes and the Oil.

I love baking my Chicken Breasts more than searing them because when you bake your breasts they turn out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Moreover, your kitchen stays clean as all of the splatterings are happening inside the oven.

How to Make Cajun Seasoning at home?

Cajun Seasoning is a zesty, spicy, and smoky seasoning that you must keep at home. I love to spice up any herby recipes such as this Herb Chicken Breasts with a dash of Cajun Seasoning. And, the best part about it, is that it stays up to 1 year. So, yeah! It takes just 10-minutes to make Cajun Seasoning and you'll have it for one year.

• Just combine Oregano, Dried Thyme, Cayenne Pepper, Smoked Paprika, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, and some Salt and Black pepper. So, it is supposed to have an equal about of all spices. But, more of Smoked Paprika and Black Pepper for that punch in it. So, I like to add 1 tablespoon of each spice except Smoked Paprika - 3 tablespoons and Black pepper - 2 tablespoons.
• Store it in an Air-Tight container and it will stay safe for up to 1 year.

🍽️How to Make Creamy Cajun Chicken

• Coat chicken: Drizzle Oil onto the chicken and then add some Cajun Seasoning to it. Coat both sides of chicken breasts with the seasoning.
• Bake Chicken: Put this chicken in your preheated oven at 440F and bake the chicken for 15-minutes. Flip over at 6-7 minute mark.
• Make a Creamy sauce: In a pan add some Olive Oil. Into that add some minced garlic. Along with that add Sun-Dried tomatoes. I like to add just a bit of oil from Sun Dried tomato for that smoky taste. Saute this for a while.
• Add Cream Cheese and Heavy Cream: Into this add Cream Cheese and Heavy Cream. Mix well to combine.
• Season with salt, pepper. Add Some Cajun Seasoning: I like to add lots of freshly cracked black pepper for that punch. Along with that I also like to add some Cajun Seasoning just to get that intense flavor.
• Place Baked Chicken in Sauce: Finally, place your baked chicken in your creamy sauce. Enjoy with some cilantro on top.

🍗How to Know if my Chicken is done?

To tell if your chicken is perfectly cooked, use a meat thermometer. Push it into your baked chicken. If it reads 165F then your chicken is perfectly cooked and is safe to be eaten. If not, then you need to bake it for some more time.

🧊Can I Store Leftovers?

Well, the better question is, will there be any leftovers? If you are lucky enough to save some, make sure you place it in an air-tight container such as Tupperware. And then refrigerate this chicken for 2-3 days. But, do not forget the air-tight container.

Secondly, I do not recommend freezing this chicken since there are ingredients like heavy cream and cream cheese that don't freeze well.
