Creamy Cajun Chicken

Ingredients:

• 2 large chicken breasts, cut lengthwise to make 4 thinner breast cutlets
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil + 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Combine the spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle each side of the chicken breast with the spice mixture.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted, add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and allow the mixture to slowly come to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
4. When the sauce has simmered softly for 3-4 minutes, add the chicken back to the skillet and cover.
5. Cook the chicken over medium-low for 6-10 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

This recipe results in flavorful and creamy pan-seared chicken with a rich spice blend, creating a delicious and comforting dish.
