Ingredients

2 jalapeno peppers
2 serrano peppers
1 habanero pepper
1 poblano pepper
1/2 medium green pepper
1/2 medium sweet red or yellow pepper

1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 small onion, sliced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Hot cooked rice, optional

Directions

Cut all of the peppers into thin strips; discard seeds. In a skillet or wok, stir-fry chicken in oil until no longer pink. Add the peppers, mushrooms and onion; stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Serve with rice if desired. Yield: 2 servings.

This is how I make & serve chicken. The only thing I do, is stead of Cajun seasoning (I can't get it here in Greece) I add a bit of garlic & oregano or Taco seasoning. Depending on our mood-if we feel more like Mexican flavoring or Greek. My family's favorite summer dish. Easy, Healthy & quick to make.
