How To Make creamy cajun with zoodles
-
1Put all cajun seasoning ingredients into a mini blender, grind until powder consistency. Omit this step if you don't mind the texture of the oregano and thyme. Personally, I don't like it getting caught in my teeth. You can also use a favorite pre-made cajun seasoning mix instead of making your own.
-
2Heat oven to 250. Place paper towel on a rimmed baking sheet. Make zucchini into zoodles. I use an Ontel Veggetti Spiral Vegetable Slicer. Place zoodles on paper towel and sprinkle 1/2 t salt over the top. Bake at 250 for 20 minutes.
-
3Coat the chicken pieces with the cajun seasoning and set aside.
-
4Heat butter in cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onions, and garlic. Saute about 3-4 minutes.
-
5Add the chicken, sear on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add sausage and cook another 2 minutes. Add the broth and use a whisk to scrape the bits from the bottom. Mix in the cheese, then add the cream. Simmer on low 5 minutes.
-
6Serve over zoodles.
