Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Season chicken with Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
