Cooking Steps
- In a mixing bowl, combine halved chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning and olive oil. Ensure each piece is well-coated and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the grass-fed butter. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Let it rest before slicing.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add chopped red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Mix in chopped garlic and cook an additional minute.
- Add day-old rice and remaining Cajun seasoning to the skillet. Stir continuously for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Lower heat to medium-low. Add a knob of butter, then whisk in the milk, followed by cream cheese and Parmesan. Mix until smooth.
- Assemble by layering the Cajun rice, topping with sliced chicken, and drizzling with the creamy sauce. Garnish with parsley.

Notes
Marinating chicken overnight enhances flavor. Use day-old rice for the best texture and stir regularly while making the sauce to avoid lumps.
