Instructions

1. Cut the chicken breast into thinner pieces horizontally, or pound until thinner.
2. Season the chicken with Cajun seasoning. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the chicken 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and set aside on a plate.
4. Wipe out any overly browned bits from the pan. Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the butter and shallot and sauté until softened and fragrant.
5. Add the tomato paste and Cajun seasoning and sauté 3-4 minutes, until the tomato paste turns a rich color. Add the flour and cook 2-3 minutes to cook out the floury taste.
6. Add the broth gradually, whisking after each addition until smooth. Whisk in the heavy cream, then simmer 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Return the chicken to the pan, partially submerged in the sauce, and serve with a spoonful of sauce over the top.
