Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook Chicken Tenderloins

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken tenderloins with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through and no longer pink. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Stir in lemon juice and adjust seasoning as needed.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Slice the cooked chicken tenderloins and add them back to the skillet. Toss everything together for a minute to combine flavors. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
