Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chicken broth
- 3 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and toss with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Set aside.
Chop the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, yellow onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped bell peppers, onion, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the remaining Cajun seasoning, soy sauce, and chicken broth. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the Cajun stir fry over cooked white or brown rice. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Enjoy your Cajun-inspired stir fry!
