Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning * divided
  • 12 ounces chicken * cut into bite size pieces
  • 12 ounces Andouille sausage * cut into slices
  • 2 cloves garlic * minced
  • 3 sweet peppers * I use red, orange, and yellow, cut into thin strips

Instructions

  • Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Cook the shrimp until opaque, about 3-4 minutes, then remove to a plate.
  • Add the chicken, sausage, and 1 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning to the same skillet.
  • Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes, and remove to the plate with the shrimp.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add a drizzle of oil, if needed.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the peppers, onions, and the last teaspoon of Cajun seasoning.
  • Cook until the peppers and onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
