Instructions
Chop up the chicken breasts into chunks and fry over a medium heat in the oil until cooked. Take chicken out and put to one side
Add a little more oil to the pan if needed. On a medium heat, cook the tomatoes, Garlic and Onions until soft.
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.
