Tonight, I made a delicious dish that would make your taste buds SHOUT! My husband and I were completely stuffed after this meal. Sam said, "This is seriously the best meal I've had in a while." I should have taken a picture, because it was a a truly beautiful veggie and protein filled meal. Here it is... PLEASE enjoy it. (I provided some rice for my hubby - He can stand the starch, but I cannot. To simplify the meal even more, I cook extra rice on Monday in my rice cooker and place in the fridge. I will heat up a little bit for Sam so that I'm not tempted to chow down.)
Cajun Chicken with Veggies & Kielbasa (4 people)
3 Chicken Breast
3 medium to small yellow squash
1 onion
1 pound fresh green beans
2 kielbasa links
1/4 head medium cabbage
4 tbsp. Cajun Seasoning *recipe below
2 tbsp. coconut oil
2 tbsp. butter
Salt & Pepper
1 garlic clove, grated finely
1. Heat 2 tbsp coconut oil.
2. Slice Chicken Breast in half (cuts cooking time in half) and season the chicken with 2 tbsp. of Cajun seasoning.
3. Place chicken in the skillet and cook in the coconut oil. Season the other side with salt & pepper and a tsp. of Cajun seasoning. Flip.
4. When the chicken is finished, remove from the skillet.
5. Add butter and a little more coconut oil, if needed. Add the squash, cabbage, onion, sausage, and green beans on medium heat. Season with the rest of the Cajun seasoning (2 tbsp.). Add salt & pepper. Cover & reduce to simmer after it begins to boil.
6. Right before serving, add the chicken back into the skillet to warm a little. Heat up rice, if needed.
7. Serve the veggies on the bottom & place the chicken on top. ENJOY!
