Looking for something spicy, easy and different. This filled the bill. My husband and I enjoyed this recipe. I added hot pepper flakes instead of cayenne. I will definitely make this again. I'm gong to try it with pasta too!

I have the 2002 cookbook that this is published in and I would be very upset, as would my family, if it got lost. We LOVE this recipe! I always double the recipe and there is very little left over. We like spicy food and I use red cayenne pepper instead of cajun seasoning. It gives it a nice heat without being so hot you can't taste everything else.

This may not be an authentic Cajun dish but it was really good. I made a few changes: used one slice bacon, chicken legs, extra green pepper and only 1 tsp Cajun seasoning. Cooked on the top of the stove for 2 hours. Delicious, tender and just spicy enough for us.
