Cajun Chicken:

1. Prep Chicken: Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Bread Chicken: Set up a breading station with two shallow dishes: one with whisked egg and one with panko bread crumbs mixed with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, then coat in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
3. Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook breaded chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a plate and rest.

Cheesy Grits:

1. Cook Grits: In a saucepan, combine milk, chicken broth, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then slowly whisk in grits. Reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes, or until creamy and thickened, whisking frequently.
2. Add Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in butter, pepper, and shredded cheese until melted.
3. Serve: Pour grits into bowls, top with sliced chicken, and add hot sauce to taste. Serve immediately.
