Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast boneless and skinless
  • 2 tbsp Cajun Seasoning store-bought or homemade
For the Vegetables
  • 2 cups Bell Peppers mixed colors (red, yellow, green)
  • 1 medium Onion optional, substitute with shallots if desired
For Sautéing
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil vegetable oil can be used as a substitute

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Slice a mix of bell peppers and an onion if using.
  2. Coat the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, ensuring each piece is well-covered. Let it marinate for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Place the seasoned chicken into the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together and sauté for an additional minute. Serve warm.

Notes

Allowing the chicken to marinate enhances the flavor. Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking for best results.
