Steps

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of two of Cajun seasoning.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the seasoned chicken in the pan and fry until cooked through and has a nice sear on both sides.
  3. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  4. In the same pan, melt about 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped garlic and half a small chopped onion, and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the celery stalk, bell pepper (about half of a small), and quarter cup of sun-dried tomatoes to the pan. Stir around and let it cook down over medium heat for about four or five minutes.
  6. Pour in chicken stock and heavy cream into the skillet. Season with additional pepper and Cajun seasoning, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan. Let the sauce simmer while spooning some of the sauce over the top for another 5 to 10 minutes.
  8. Once finished, turn off the heat.
