Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and dairy-free.

Prepare the ingredients: gather flour, olive oil, heavy whipping cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic cloves, chicken bone broth, sun-dried tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Cut the chicken breasts in half to create chicken breast cutlets for quicker cooking.

In a bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning; mix well.

Dredge the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, then place them back on a tray for holding.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil and butter.

Cook the chicken cutlets in the skillet, ensuring they are not crowded; brown on all sides, then remove and set aside on a plate.

Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet; sauté briefly.

Pour in the chicken bone broth and add the sun-dried tomatoes; mix well and let it cook for about a minute.

Add the heavy whipping cream and Cajun seasoning to the skillet; stir to combine.

Return the browned chicken cutlets to the skillet, allowing them to cook in the sauce for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Turn off the heat and add the Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken; if desired, turn the heat back on low briefly to melt the cheese.

Serve the creamy Cajun chicken and enjoy.
