Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 large red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Prepare the chicken and vegetables: Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch strips. Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers, and the onion into similar-sized strips.
  • Season the chicken: In a medium bowl, toss the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the same skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning and stir to combine.
  • Combine and serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve this delicious Cajun Chicken Peppers over rice, with warm tortillas, or as a vibrant stir-fry on its own. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preferred spice level. For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
