Step 1

Prep Work: Drain and reserve the juice from the diced tomatoes. Combine the sauce ingredients in a large measuring cup with a spout and set aside.

Step 2

Make the Chicken: Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create thinner slices. Cover with saran wrap and pound to ½ inch thick using a meat mallet. Season with Cajun seasoning and coat with flour.

Step 3

Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Set aside.

Step 4

Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add reserved tomato juice. Scrape the skillet clean using a spatula. Add butter and garlic, cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour for 2 minutes. Gradually add the sauce mixture, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Reduce heat, add cheese gradually until melted, then stir in lime juice.

Step 5

Combine and Serve: Return chicken to skillet, coat with sauce, and simmer for 4 minutes. Add lime wedges, simmer for an additional minute. Serve with a garnish of cilantro.
