Method

Step 1: Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Allow it to sit for a few minutes while you prepare the skillet.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Step 4: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
Step 5: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Step 6: Plate the chicken and spoon the Cajun cream sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
