Creamy Cilantro Chicken

Recipe by Michelle Zaretzky from allrecipes.com

Dinner 35 Mins.

Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 6 thin skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 0.25 cup dry white wine
  • 0.75 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 0.5 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Pat chicken breasts dry and sprinkle with 1/2 the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the very hot oil and cook, turning occasionally, until juices run clear when chicken is pricked with a fork and both sides are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside, reserving drippings in the skillet.
  • Add green onions and bell pepper to the drippings in the skillet. Cook until tender, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth and wine and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Simmer until juices have reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes more. Add cream and continue to simmer to reduce slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cilantro, plus remaining Cajun seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add chicken to the skillet, cover, and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes more.
