Step 3Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and season with Cajun seasoning. Cook chicken in skillet until done. Remove with slotted spoon.

-
Step 5Add chicken stock and scrape the pan. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
-
Step 6Add diced tomatoes and green chilies, thyme, and basil. Allow to cook down and combine for about 2 minutes.
