Season Chicken with Cajun seasoning.
In a large skillet, cook chicken until browned and cooked through. Shred or dice the chicken.
To make the Sauce, melt Butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in Chicken broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer, then stir in Heavy cream, Garlic powder, Onion powder, Cayenne pepper, and Black pepper.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, combine cooked chicken, Sauce, and Frozen mixed vegetables.
