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
- Season the chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and toss with Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 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.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve hot with rice, roasted potatoes, pasta, or warm bread.
