Super easy recipe, always a crowd pleaser, but can be spicy so beware!! The biggest shocker was the clam juice, sounds yucky, tastes yummy! I find it at most groceries by the canned tuna and such :) Like most of my dishes, it's very low in fat and calories. Ingredients:
1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts |
1lb of raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed |
1lb large bay scallops |
28oz can of diced, stewed tomatoes (save juice) |
4tbsp minced garlic |
1 bottle of clam juice (i think it's 8oz) |
4tbsp cajun seasoning |
2 bell peppers (i use green, yellow, and red for color) |
1 med onion |
1lb spinach linguini (or pasta of your choice) or |
4cups basmati rice |
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!!
