Cajun Chicken Strips Recipes

SUPER CRISPY CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts into four tenders each and soak them in a bowl with the buttermilk and hot sauce for 30 minutes.
• Add the eggs to one bowl and the flour and spices to a second bowl.
• Dip each piece of chicken from the buttermilk bowl to the flour mixture.
• Dip it into the eggs then back into the flour mixture.
• Shake excess flour gently off and put the chicken onto a baking sheet.
• Repeat with all the pieces.
• Heat the oil (three inches deep) in a dutch oven on medium high heat to 350 degrees.
• Fry the chicken in small batches for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

CAJUN BAKED CHICKEN STRIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x11-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Mix panko and plain bread crumbs together in a shallow bowl. Add Creole seasoning and pepper; mix thoroughly. Beat eggs in another bowl.
• Cover tenderloins in flour, then dip in egg mixture, following with a heavy coating of bread crumb mixture. Place the breaded chicken pieces in the greased pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and no longer pink in the centers, about 20 minutes, turning chicken pieces halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

• Mix all dry ingredients in another ziplock bag.
• Heat oil in frying pan to medium high, depending on your stove.
• Put chicken from hot sauce into dry ingredients bag and shake to coat.

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.
