This bold and creamy Cajun chicken recipe is the ultimate comfort food with a perfect hint of spice. Serve Cajun Chicken with Mushrooms over pasta, rice, or even cauliflower rice!
Set a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, onions, and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the mushrooms. Sauté for 8-10 minutes to soften the mushrooms.
Meanwhile, chop the chicken into 1 inch bite-size pieces. Once the mushrooms are soft, move them to the sides of the skillet and add in the chicken and Cajun seasoning.
Brown the chicken for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add in the cream cheese, water, and smoked paprika.
Stir and simmer until the cream cheese melts into a smooth sauce. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed.
