Cajun Chicken and Shrimp image

I have not tried this recipe, but am posting here for safe keeping and in the hopes someone on Zaar will try it and enjoy it. This was in a recent issue of Woman's Day magazine. My plan is to use red bell pepper and maybe add some red pepper flakes for some kick. I listed the chicken parts separately, but ideally the chicken should just equal 1 1/4 lb. If you try it, I hope you enjoy it!
