Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 bell pepper, diced (red or green)
– 1 onion, diced
– ½ cup chicken broth
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these instructions to create mouth-watering Cajun Chicken:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.
2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4. Sear the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Add Aromatics: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add minced garlic, diced onion, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
6. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits.
7. Return the Chicken: Place the chicken back into the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing it to soak in the flavors.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added burst of color and flavor.
9. Serve: Transfer the Cajun Chicken to a serving plate and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
