    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the garlic, bell pepper, onion, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Add Shrimp and Broth

    Add the shrimp to the skillet along with the chicken broth and lemon juice. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Slice the cooked chicken and return to the skillet. Stir everything together and let simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Serve hot over a bed of mashed potatoes, with veggies, soup, or salad on the side.
