Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and toss with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Set aside.

Chop the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, yellow onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the remaining Cajun seasoning, soy sauce, and chicken broth. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
