- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 Tbls. butter
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups (or four links) loop sausage (I love the Chicken Sausage from Costco--it's awesome and a lot fewer calories and fat than regular pork sausage), cut the sausage into thin, round slices
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, fat removed and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 Tbls. butter
- 2 Tbls. cornstarch
- 2-3 Tbls. cajun seasoning (I love Weber's New Orleans Cajun Seasoning)
- 1 tsp. cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp. turmeric
- Dash of red pepper flakes (optional if you like more spice)
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cans of petite diced tomatoes, slightly drained
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked rice or pasta
- Cut and chop the vegetables. Slice the sausage and cut the chicken into one inch pieces. In a large saute pan, heat two tablespoons of butter on medium-high heat until the butter begins to slightly turn brown. Add the onions to the hot skillet and turn the heat down to medium heat. Saute the onions until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Add the diced peppers into the pan with the onions. Â Saute the peppers until tender but not mushy. Put the peppers and onions in a separate bowl and set aside. Â Keep the pan on medium heat and add the sausage slices to the pan. Saute until nicely golden brown. The sausage is already cooked, so you really just need to brown it and heat it up. Once the sausage is browned, add the sausage to the peppers and onions and set aside. In the same pan, add the rest of the butter and bring back up to medium heat. Add the chicken pieces to the butter and saute until lightly golden brown. Add 2 Tbls. of cornstarch and the seasonings to the chicken and saute until the chicken is golden brown and you can begin to smell the spices. Turn the heat down to medium-low heat and then add the chicken broth, garlic and diced tomatoes. Let the mixture simmer until it begins to thicken and the chicken is cooked through, about 5-8 minutes. Once it is cooked, add the peppers, onions and sausage back to the pan and simmer the entire dish until you are ready to serve. When serving, serve over hot rice (or cooked pasta) and then garnish with fresh parsley.
- *You could also add cooked shrimp to this dish too if you want
I love the flavor of bell peppers/sweet peppers and like that this recipe has on so many.
