- ½ tsp Smoked Paprika

Instructions
- Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner fillets (this helps them cook faster and stay tender). Season with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, spray more cooking spray if needed. Add the onion and garlic, frying gently until softened (about 3–4 minutes).
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken stock, stir well, and let simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the light cream cheese, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Return the chicken breasts to the pan, coating them in the sauce. Simmer for a further 5 minutes, allowing the flavours to combine.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
