Ingredients
  

Protein & Vegetables
  • 1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 12 oz halal smoked turkey sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch coins
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced into thick wedges
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Cajun Seasoning & Finishing
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 medium fresh lemon, cut into wedges for serving

Method
 

Prep & Season
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or heavy foil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine diced chicken, sliced turkey sausage coins, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Sprinkle evenly over the bowl and toss thoroughly until coated.
Roast & Garnish
  1. Spread ingredients across the sheet pan in a single, uncrowded layer for optimal browning.
  2. Roast on the center rack for 15 to 18 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and sausage edges are crisped.
  3. Remove from oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot pan, and scatter with fresh parsley. Serve immediately over warm jasmine rice.
