Creamy Skillet Cajun Chicken And Mushrooms Recipe
  1. Set a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, onions, and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the mushrooms. Sauté for 8-10 minutes to soften the mushrooms.

  2. Meanwhile, chop the chicken into 1 inch bite-size pieces. Once the mushrooms are soft, move them to the sides of the skillet and add in the chicken and Cajun seasoning.

  3. Brown the chicken for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add in the cream cheese, water, and smoked paprika.

  4. Stir and simmer until the cream cheese melts into a smooth sauce. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed.

  5. Serve warm over pasta, rice, or cauliflower rice.
