Cajun Chicken Blt Millies Recipes

CAJUN CHICKEN BLT, MILLIE'S

Steps:

• 1. Pound out chicken so that it's thickness is pretty even. Shake Cajun seasonings onto both sides of chicken. The more you use, the spicier it gets (and saltier, so keep that in mind). Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. You can do this part the day before if you want.
• 2. Clean up work area. In a medium pan, fry bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towel. Pour off bacon grease (I save it in a jar) or you can use it to fry chicken in and omit the coconut oil altogether.
• 3. While bacon is frying, wash lettuce and dry with a paper towel. Slice tomato. Mix mayo and horseradish mustard together. Salt and pepper together to taste. Set aside.
• 4. Add coconut oil to a pan (unless you want to use the bacon grease). Pan fry chicken in the same pan you fried the bacon in. * You can also grill the chicken instead.* About 5-7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Top with smoked provolone cheese.
• 5. Smear mayo and mustard mixture onto rolls/buns. Add chicken and top with bacon, tomato, and lettuce. Enjoy!

CAJUN CHICKEN ONE-POT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium heat, then add the chicken, season lightly and fry for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally until just golden all over - no need to worry about it being cooked through at this stage.
• Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 mins more, then scatter over the Cajun-style seasoning and stir so the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Tip in the tomatoes, a quarter of a can of water and the stock cube. Stir, then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 mins.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for a minute less than pack instructions. Stir the cream into the chicken and continue to simmer gently. When the pasta is cooked, drain well and stir into chicken mixture. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce over a low heat for 2 mins, then stir in the parmesan and lemon juice, and cook for 1 min more. Serve the pasta straight from the pan, or tip into a large serving bowl. Scatter with parsley, if you like, and extra parmesan.
