Recipe: Angry Chicken 🐔🔥

Description:

Got this recipe from a friend of mine, just because the name was funny. When I went to make it, I thought I had made a mistake in writing down the amount of cajun seasoning, so I called her to make sure. She said, “of course it’s right. That’s why the chicken is angry!”. Well, it turned out really good, so I hope you like it, too. Don’t be afraid of the spice – it’s really not very hot.

Instructions:

Step Description
1 Season chicken with salt and pepper; grill or cook in a skillet.
2 Sauté the mushrooms in butter or oil until just done.
3 For the sauce: Combine garlic and wine. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes to reduce by half.
4 Add cream and increase heat to bring to a low boil.
5 Reduce heat to simmer and add Cajun seasoning. (Be careful if you use a different brand of Cajun Seasoning – I use McCormick’s and it doesn’t seem to be too salty).
6 Simmer 10-15 minutes, add cheeses until smooth.
7 Add in chicken and mushrooms over low heat.
8 You can add 1 pound of pasta (cooked) and toss to coat with the sauce, or you can serve the chicken with the sauce over a bed of rice.
