Steps:
- Pat chicken breasts dry and sprinkle with 1/2 the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the very hot oil and cook, turning occasionally, until juices run clear when chicken is pricked with a fork and both sides are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside, reserving drippings in the skillet.
- Add green onions and bell pepper to the drippings in the skillet. Cook until tender, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth and wine and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Simmer until juices have reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes more. Add cream and continue to simmer to reduce slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cilantro, plus remaining Cajun seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken to the skillet, cover, and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes more.

CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN
My husband has recently declared my kitchen a cilantro-free zone :( so unfortunately I haven't yet tried this dish, but I am posting it because it sounds good to me and thought it might appeal to others as well. The recipe comes from Ainsley Harriott, a British chef, and he cautions not to marinate the chicken longer than two hours as the lime juice will break down the chicken to the point that it will fall apart. Preparation time does not include marinating time.

CHICKEN CILANTRO
Don't let the color scare you! It's bright green! This is an extremely easy and tasty family recipe. Variations can definitely be made to taste...sometimes I use chicken (boneless or not)...sometimes I use shrimp...sometimes I use both. My family makes it with chicken innards (gizzards, heart, etc.) which I'm not too keen on eating. Hey, but with this soup it's to each his or her own.

CITRUS CILANTRO CHICKEN

Steps:
- Take citrus and roll it on counter. Smash it to loosen up the inside and help the juices break out, this is the fun part! Squeeze out as much juice as possible into a marinating dish or large plastic bag. I scooped out the flesh from the peel and put in my dish, too, but if you prefer not to have the pulpy part you can leave it out. A little zest would be nice, too.
- Add soy sauce and margarita mix.
- Add chicken, chopped onion (I like it in big long pieces), cilantro, and mix it up. Allow to marinate in refrigerator 1-2 hours, but not too much longer because the citrus will start breaking down the meat.
- Heat large pan (mine is non-stick) and add the mixture. Let it start to simmer (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add in garlic and greenbeans and let cook about another 7 minutes or until chicken and green beans are cooked through. You could add some red pepper flakes to give it some heat in this step if you like a little more spice.
- Pile ingredients on one side of the pan and add in the cornstarch. Let it start to simmer and watch it start to bubble. It'll take about two minutes.
- Mix it through and heat about another minute then remove from heat. The longer it sits the thicker the sauce will be.
- I like to serve it over white basmati rice (and throw in a bay leaf while rice cooks for a little unique flavor).
