Cajun Spiced Chicken with Bell Peppers and Onions over Brown Rice

Step 1: Cook the Rice

Cook the brown rice according to package directions, using chicken broth instead of water for added flavor.

• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups chicken broth

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the chicken with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.

• 1.5 pounds chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Step 3: Sauté Vegetables

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions and sauté until tender-crisp.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 medium bell peppers (various colors, sliced)
• 1 medium onion (sliced)

Step 4: Cook the Chicken

Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet with the bell peppers and onions. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.

• Seasoned chicken from Step 2
• Sautéed vegetables from Step 3

Step 5: Serve

Serve the Cajun spiced chicken and vegetables over the cooked brown rice. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
