Ingredients
2 pounds pork tenderloin or chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
1-2 T Stacey Hawkins Kickin’ Cajun Seasoning (use more if you prefer it spicy)
2 Tablespoons Stacey Hawkins Roasted Garlic oil
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon Stacey Hawkins Garlic & Spring Onion Seasoning
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ C low sodium chicken broth
fresh parsley, scallions or basil, shredded for garnish (if desired)
Directions
Cut meat into chunks and dry with a paper towel. Add to a bowl, season with Kickin’ Cajun and toss to coat.
In a large skillet, add the Roasted Garlic Oil over medium high heat. Add the pork and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned & cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the Garlic & Spring Onion and stir. Add the chicken broth and the lemon juice to the pan and scrape to get all the yummy bits off the bottom.
Add the pork back to the pan and toss in the sauce. Sprinkle with garnish if desired and serve immediately.
