Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cut chicken into 2in pieces, cut peppers and onion long and thin. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the pasta or rice of your choice according to label directions
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add garlic, cajun seasoning, clam juice, stewed tomatoes, and about half of the juice from the tomato can (save the juice as you can add more to flavor to your liking. Clam juice is a cloudy liquid usually sold in a bottle, don't skip this because it looks and sounds funny, it makes the dish, it is not 'fishy' tasting and I use it even when I don't put any seafood in.
  4. In a large skillet (I use a deep, round, SS pan), add chicken and sauce mixture, when chicken is almost cooked thoruoghly, add shrimp, scallops and veggies as they only take a few minutes to cook.
  5. Serve over rice or pasta, sprinkle more cajun seasoning on top and around dish for look and it adds more flavor if you like spicy. I always play around with the sauce depending on what I'm in the mood for, adding more garlic, cajun seasoning, tomato juice. Play around with it, it's fun!!
