Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear.
  • Season the Chicken: Rub Cajun seasoning generously over both sides of each chicken breast. Ensure an even coating for maximum flavor.
  • Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown color. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Combine: Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Toss everything together for a minute to combine the flavors.
  • Season and Garnish: Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
