Instructions

1 Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
2 In a big bowl, mix the chicken with Cajun seasoning, chili powder, garlic
powder, hot sauce, and red chile flakes until well-coated.
3 Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat and cook the seasoned chicken for
about 10-15 minutes, making sure it’s fully cooked and reads at least 165°F on
an instant-read thermometer. Avoid crowding the skillet; cook in batches if
needed. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate.
4 Using the same skillet, sauté the onion, tomatoes, corn, and jalapeños, adding a
bit more Cajun seasoning. Cook until the veggies soften. Add the chicken back
into the skillet and stir everything together.
5 Sprinkle the cheese and salsa over the chicken-veggie mix. Broil until the
cheese melts.
6 Serve with tortilla chips, a dollop of sour cream, and some fresh basil.
