How to Make Cajun Chicken And Sausage Saute

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 bell pepper (chopped), and 1 pound Andouille sausage (sliced).
  3. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion and bell pepper begin to soften, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces) and saute for 3-4 minutes, or until the outside is no longer pink.
  5. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and cooked through. Check internal temperature with a thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Serve immediately over cooked rice.
