Cajun Spice Preparation
Mix Cajun Spice Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Main Cooking Steps
Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub the Cajun spice mix all over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add Bell Peppers
Stir in the chopped bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Cook the Chicken
Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the seasoned chicken breasts. Sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Add Chicken Broth
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
Finishing Touch
Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
