Spicy Cajun Chicken

Mitra was craving something hot and spicy that day and I was not in a mood to cook anything Indian. So I started to go through my spice rack and came across Cajun seasoning. Cajun cooking comes from southern USA from the state of Louisiana and uses Cayenne Peppers. It is not very hot but has a certain zing to it. Ingredients:
500 gm chicken
1 red capsicum
1 yellow capsicum
1 green capsicum
1 brown onion
2 pods of garlic
2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 cup chicken stock
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp corn flour

Preparation time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 20 mins

Dice the chicken to medium pieces. Slice the capsicum, onion and garlic thinly. Add oil to a pan and add the garlic and onion to the oil. Sauté until the onion turns translucent. Add the capsicum and cook for 5 mins. Add the chicken and cook until it turns brown. Add the Cajun seasoning and chicken stock and simmer on medium heat. Mix corn flour with water and add to the boiling Cajun sauce to thicken the sauce. Serve with steam rice or fried rice.
