How to Make Cajun Chicken Strips

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup buttermilk.
  2. Add chicken pieces (about 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips) half at a time to the bag. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the coated chicken strips in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley and chopped bell peppers (optional) before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, homemade Cajun chicken strips!
