Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast sliced into strips (chicken tenders can be used instead
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and sliced
- 1 jalapeño seeded and sliced
- lices orange cut in half
- lime for garnish, wedges
- 2 green onions sliced, for garnish
- parsley minced, for garnish, fresh
- Cajun Honey Mustard Marinade
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup orange juice fresh is best if possible
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard coarse
- 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
- 3/4 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Trim chicken breasts of fat, and slice into strips to resemble chicken tenders.
- Add marinade ingredients to a zip-top plastic bag and whisk to combine. Add chicken to bag, and seal, pressing out any excess air.
- Smoosh the bag around a bit to make sure all the chicken pieces are coated in the marinade.
- Place bag on a plate and refrigerate up to 8 hours.
- Pour entire contents of the bag into a large skillet and heat over MED-HIGH heat until the mixture comes to a bubble. Reduce heat to MED-LOW and simmer, uncovered, for about 25-30 minutes, until most of the liquid cooks off, leaving a loose glaze.
- The last 5 minutes or so, add in the sliced bell pepper, jalapeno and orange slices and let them cook in the glaze.
- Remove chicken, veggies and oranges to a plate.
- Serve over rice, quinoa, or as is for a low carb option.
- If desired, garnish with sliced green onions, minced parsley, and a lime wedge.
Notes
- Marinade adapted from Carlsbad Cravings2. All cooktops are different, so times may vary.
