How to Make Lemon Cajun Stir Fry

  1. Coat 1 lb chicken strips with 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
  2. Heat 1/2 cup peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken in batches until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per batch). Remove chicken from wok and set aside.
  3. Add 1 tbsp peanut oil to the wok. Stir-fry 1 medium onion (sliced) for 5 minutes. Add 1 red bell pepper (sliced) and 1 green bell pepper (sliced) and cook for another 3 minutes, until slightly softened. Remove vegetables from wok and set aside.
  4. **Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Pour sauce into the wok and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until thickened (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Return chicken and vegetables to the wok. Toss to coat evenly with the sauce and heat through (about 2 minutes).
