Creating Cajun Chicken with Bell Peppers is a breeze when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Season Chicken: Rub the Cajun seasoning evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. Remove Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it to keep warm.

7. Season Vegetables: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the veggies and mix well.
8. Return Chicken: Place the chicken back into the skillet with the vegetables, combining everything for an additional 2-3 minutes.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a touch of color and flavor.
