Cajun Spiced Chicken
This is one of my favorite Dutch Oven recipes. The ingredients travel well for camping and pre-chopping at home then placing each ingredient in Ziploc bags makes it a great no fuss evening meal in the great outdoors.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts boned and skinned
- 2 Tablespoon Cajun Dust or any cajun seasoning mix
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 Tablespoon olive oil
- 3 medium onions halved and sliced very thin
- 2 ribs celery diced
- 1 1/2 cup . eggplant skinned and diced small
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1 small zucchini slice
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can Cajun Stewed Tomatoes 14oz.
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 Tablespoon herbed white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup chives finely chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat Dutch oven over 16 to 20 coals, add olive oil. When oil is warm add chicken and brown on both sides. Remove chicken. Saute onions until tender.
-
Add remaining vegetables and saute about 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes, stock and vinegar, Bring mixture to a simmer, then put the chicken back on top.
-
Put lid on the Dutch oven and simmer for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chives on top and serve. I like to serve this over rice. If you can't find Cajun spices, use Italian.
Recipe Notes
I never follow this exactly, because I use what vegetables I have at the time. It's easily adjustable to many variations. Also, I frequently use just half of the Cajun spices. It is very spicy!
