CAJUN ALFREDO CHICKEN- LOW CARB

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Coat each side of the breasts with Cajun seasoning.
• 2. Heat butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium- high heat. Sauté breasts for 3 minutes on each side. When you flip the breasts, tilt pan slightly and spoon some of the butter over chicken several times. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
• 3. While chicken is cooking, chop broccoli and cook. I microwaved it on high for 4 minutes. Microwave ovens vary, so just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get overcooked. Seed and dice tomatoes, and slice the green onion.
• 4. Remove chicken breasts from the oven, and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and place on plates. Note: Chicken will be blackened (not burnt). Top each breast with half of the broccoli. Heat alfredo sauce in a glass measuring cup in the microwave on high for 25-30 seconds. Drizzle half of the sauce over each breast. Top each with half of the tomato and onion, and serve. * I used Bobby Webb's Cajun Spice Mix.
