Description

Delicious crispy fries topped with spicy Cajun chicken and melted cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (28 ounces) frozen steak fries
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup (113 g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup (55 g) mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for drizzling
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • chives, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the steak fry package. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the frozen steak fries with 1 tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning. Spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions, adding 5 to 10 extra minutes if you like them extra crispy.
  3. While the fries are baking, heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, hot sauce, and garlic powder until smooth. Set aside.
  5. Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Evenly top the fries with the cooked chicken and shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
  7. Drizzle the creamy hot sauce over the fries. Garnish with chives and a few extra dashes of hot sauce if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

  • Make sure to check the fries frequently if you like them extra crispy.
  • This dish is great for parties or as a delicious snack.
