A spicy, smoky Southern classic featuring tender chicken, bold andouille sausage, bell peppers, and Cajun spices — all made in one skillet.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cubed

  • 12 oz Andouille sausage, sliced

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • ½ cup diced tomatoes (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley or green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  • Season chicken with Cajun seasoning. Let sit for 10 minutes.

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil. Brown sausage, then remove.

  • Add remaining oil and cook chicken until browned. Remove and set aside.

  • Sauté peppers, onion, and garlic until softened.

  • Return chicken and sausage to pan. Add broth (and tomatoes if using). Simmer 5–8 minutes.

  • Garnish and serve over rice or pasta.

Notes

Adjust spice level to taste. Add shrimp in final minutes for a Cajun surf-and-turf. Great for meal prep and freezer-friendly.
