This Cajun Chicken Skillet has only 6 ingredients and but is PACKED with flavor! It makes a quick, easy, and filling meal or can be served with toothpicks as a hearty appetizer.
Chop chicken into 1 in chunks. Place in a zip top bag with 1 tbsp of olive oil and cajun seasoning. Mix the chicken until all is coated with the seasoning. Let marinate, while you chop the bell pepper into bite sized pieces.
Heat remaining 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and peppers to the skillet with the chicken in a single layer. If there is too much chicken for a single layer, work in batches. Let the chicken cook on the first side for 3-4 minutes without stirring, then use tongs to flip each piece over. Cook on the second side for 2 minutes, then add the garlic, stir well, and cook for 1 additional minute or until cooked through (165˚F internal temp)
Once the chicken is done, remove the skillet from the heat, and top the chicken with the chopped green onion. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
You can use chicken thighs, chicken tenders, or other cuts in lieu of chicken breast.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to a month.
