Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by chopping the onion and bell pepper into small, even pieces. Measure out all other ingredients, including Cajun seasoning and flour.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Sprinkle the flour into the saucepan while constantly stirring for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Add Cajun seasoning.
  5. Lower the heat to medium-low, integrate 1 cup of heavy cream into the sauce, and simmer gently for an additional 2-3 minutes.
