Notes

– If you’re not a spicy food fan (I love spicy!), cut the Cajun seasoning in half.

– I used a lot of chicken in this recipe.  You could easily get away with 2-3 chicken breasts, but I like my protein!

– You may want to use a casserole dish for the final mix (the skillet becomes very full) but I was able to pull it off in the skillet.
