We have a new favorite meal! I make a ton of this cajun chicken & veggies because we both love to eat a lot of it, and Travis loves to take it in his lunch the next week. I love how flavorful the dish is. It’s a got a small kick to it too, but nothing you can’t handle.
My favorite part of this meal is how easy it is to make. I don’t have to do any planning or a ton of prepping other than chopping a few veggies. It means its easy to make as a last minute meal when I suddenly realize it’s suppertime and there’s nothing in the crock pot!
Try this Cajun Chicken Dish
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Potatoes
- Bell peppers
- Onion
- Chicken
- Onion powder
- Oregano
- Thyme
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cayenne pepper
- Olive oil
I know that looks like a lot of ingredients, but most of those are just seasonings. And you probably already have all those seasonings in your kitchen! I think this recipe is super easy and that’s why I love it.
Start by cutting up the potatoes, bell peppers, and onion. I partially peel the potatoes but not all the way. I also use different colored bell peppers — red, green, orange, or yellow — or use all of them!
Next, mix up all your seasonings. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Rub a little bit of olive oil on each piece of chicken — both sides — and place them on the baking sheet. Rub the seasoning over each piece of chicken — both sides.
Add two tablespoons of olive oil to the bowl full of vegetables. Add the remaining seasoning mixture to the veggies and toss until all of them are coated. Place the veggies around the chicken on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
