đ©đŒâđł Chefâs Tips
The food safe internal temperature for chicken breasts is 165° Fahrenheit, but youâll want to remove the chicken from the skillet once it reaches 160°F inside. The residual heat will keep cooking the chicken as it rests, bringing it up where it needs to be. Youâll be adding it back to the skillet for a few minutes at the end of the process, where it will finish cooking. If you were to cook it to 165°F right off the bat, the chicken would be dry and tough by the time you sit down to eat it.
Dairy products can easily curdle if theyâre too cold when added to hot ingredients. Make sure your heavy cream is at room temperature before adding it to the skillet. Doing so will ensure perfectly smooth, creamy sauce for this irresistible creamy cajun chicken skillet!
