Ingredients

500g boneless skinless chicken thighs

3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

1 bunch broccolini

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.

2. In a bowl, combine flour and cornstarch. Dredge chicken in the flour mix, dip into beaten eggs, then coat in grated parmesan.

3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken bites in batches, 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

4. Toss broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 425°F for 12–15 minutes until charred and tender.

5. In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in Cajun seasoning and sun-dried tomatoes. Add cream and simmer to thicken slightly. Stir in parmesan until smooth.

6. Serve chicken bites drizzled with Cajun Alfredo sauce. Add charred broccolini on the side. Garnish with extra parmesan or chopped parsley.

Notes

For extra crispy chicken, use a wire rack to let them cool after frying instead of paper towels.

Don’t boil the Alfredo sauce too hard—gentle simmering helps it stay creamy and smooth.
