Cajun chicken with mushrooms, bell peppers and fire roasted tomato in a gouda chipotle queso. Served with rice, Caribbean black beans and roasted jalapeño & pineapple salsa

Rub the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning evenly on all sides.

Season the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest.

Cook the Chicken

In the same skillet used for the chicken, add sliced mushrooms and diced bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender.

Sauté the Vegetables

Stir in the can of fire roasted tomatoes and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.

Add Fire Roasted Tomatoes

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine shredded Gouda cheese, cream cheese, chipotle in adobo sauce, and milk. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.

Melt the Cheese

In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until rice is fluffy and water is absorbed.

Cook the Rice

In a saucepan, combine the canned black beans and coconut milk. Heat over medium heat until warmed through. Stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice before serving.

Heat the Beans

Place jalapeños on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes until charred. Remove from oven, let cool, and chop.

Roast the Jalapeños

In a bowl, mix roasted jalapeños, chopped pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
