Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 2 celery stalks, chopped

  • 1 bell pepper, diced (red or green)

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Optional: corn, sausage, cooked rice

Instructions

  • Season chicken with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat oil in a large pot. Sear chicken until browned, then remove and set aside.

  • Sauté onion, celery, and bell pepper until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.

  • Stir in flour and cook 1–2 minutes. Gradually add broth while stirring.

  • Return chicken to the pot. Simmer 15–20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

  • Stir in cream. Shred chicken, return to pot, and simmer another 5–10 minutes.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For gluten-free, use cornstarch slurry instead of flour.

  • Use coconut milk for dairy-free adaptation.

  • Store leftovers up to 4 days; freeze for up to 3 months.
