Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 tbsp butter, divided
- 10 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1½ cups heavy cream

Instructions
- Coat the sliced chicken in Cajun seasoning.

- Stir in the heavy cream, Velveeta, cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan, mixing until the sauce is smooth.
- Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir to coat thoroughly in the sauce.
- Serve the chicken over warm Cajun rice and top with fresh parsley.
