Cooking Instructions

step 1
Crank up the heat! Preheat your oven to a sizzling 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
step 2
Season it up, Cajun-style! Take those Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (3) and give 'em a generous rubdown with Dan-O’s® Cajun Seasoning (as needed), a pinch of Salt (to taste) and Simply Organic Black Pepper, Medium Grind (to taste).
step 3
Get the skillet ready for action! Heat some Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, toss in the chicken breasts and let them get a nice golden tan, about 5 minutes on each side. Then, set ‘em aside for their final act.
step 4
Time to bring the color! Toss those Red Bell Pepper (1) and Onion (1) into the same skillet. Sauté until they're soft and juicy, around 5 minutes.
step 5
Let’s add some garlic magic! Throw in the minced Garlic (2 cloves) and let it mingle for a minute. You know it smells amazing!
step 6
Make it saucy! Pour in the Chicken Broth (1 cup) and Heavy Cream (1 cup) add the Dan-O’s® Cajun Seasoning (2 Tbsp) and stir it all together into one rich, creamy mixture. Add the Corn Kernels (1/2 cup) and bring it to a gentle simmer.
step 7
Chicken, meet sauce! Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with some spoonfuls of that creamy goodness.
step 8
Off to the oven! Slide the skillet (make sure it’s oven proof or transfer to a baking dish) into your preheated oven and let the magic happen for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is perfectly cooked.
step 9
Finish with flair! Garnish with some Fresh Parsley (as needed) and chopped Bacon (1/2 cup) for that pop of color and extra flavor. Now you’ve got a Dantastic® dish ready to wow!
