Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken breast diced into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Place the diced chicken in a mixing bowl and pour the buttermilk over it. Marinate for at least 5 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Remove each chicken piece from the buttermilk, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and coat in the seasoned flour mixture.
  • Arrange the coated chicken bites in the hot skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  • Transfer the chicken bites to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve with a dipping sauce for added flavor.
