This yummy Creamy Cajun chicken recipe – Dairy and Gluten free is quick and easy to make and has become a firm favourite in our house. I found the recipe on Willcookforsmiles.com and adapted it to be dairy free.
For anyone who’s intolerant to lactose, sheep’s cheese, goat’s cheese or genuine Buffalo mozarella can often be tolerated. I just love the taste without any added cheese.

- Add the wine and stir. Let simmer for about a minute
- Lower the heat and add the Dairy free cream, mix well
- Add all the spices. Have a little taste to see if you need any more cayenne depending on how hot you’d like your Cajun sauce
- Put the chicken pieces back into the sauce and simmer for 5 – 7 minutes
- If using any cheese stir into the Cajun until melted.
Notes
Can be served with Rice or Pasta. I sometimes add some cooked new potatoes and mushrooms to the mix.
If you want a low carb – Keto version, serve with Courgetti spaghetti. Spiralize a courgette and boil in lightly salted water for a few minutes until the consistency of pasta. I like to add some garlic and onion salt to the saucepan to give the courgette a bit of extra flavour. Put the courgette on the plate and pour over the Creamy Cajun chicken.
