Meal Prep- Cajun Honey Chicken
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced
- 4 orange slices, cut in half
- 4 lime wedges, for garnish (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish (optional)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup orange juice (fresh is best if possible)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons coarse Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 3/4 tablespoon cajun seasoning
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1. 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.
