Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and toss with Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Cook the vegetables: Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced peppers and onion and cook for 5–6 minutes until they begin to soften while still keeping some texture.
  4. Add the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Combine everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss with the peppers and onions. Cook for another 2 minutes so the flavors come together.
  6. Finish and serve: Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve hot with rice, roasted potatoes, pasta, or warm bread.
