Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts Chopped into Pieces (chicken tenders May be used Alternatively )
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and Chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and Chopped
- orange Pieces cut in half
- lime wedges for garnish optional
- 2 green onions Chopped for garnish (optional)
- fresh parsley minced for garnish (optional)
Cajun Honey Mustard Marinade
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup orange juice fresh is best if possible
- 2 Tsp brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Rough dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
- 3/4 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 Tsp garlic minced
- 1/2 Tsp salt
- 1/4 Tsp pepper
Instructions
- Lean chicken breasts of fat, and slice into pieces 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 extra 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 approximately 25-30 minutes, until most of the liquid cooks off, leaving a loose glaze.
- The previous five minutes or so, add from the chopped bell pepper, jalapeño and orange pieces and let them cook in the glaze.
- Remove chicken, oranges and veggies into a plate. Serve over rice, quinoa, or is for a low-carb alternative. If desired, garnish with chopped green onions, minced parsley, and a lime wedge.
