Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and rub both sides evenly with 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until blackened and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F; remove and tent with foil.
Step 3: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 1 tbsp butter, 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion, 1/4 cup finely diced green bell pepper, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 4: Remove casings from 8 oz boudin sausage and crumble into the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently until browned.
Step 5: Pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream and stir continuously, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6: Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over it. Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
