Delicious! Used shrimp instead of chicken. Would increase the Cajun spice just a tad next time - maybe 2 1/2 tsp. Used half and half instead of heavy cream and chopped up 2 fresh tomatoes instead of using sun-dried. Would use even more tomatoes next time. Would also chop up fresh garlic instead of adding garlic powder. Delicious!
