Ingredients
Cajun Seasoning
- 1 1/2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
Chicken and Rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces, boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 cup yellow onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic grated or minced
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 cup jasmine rice or long grain white rice, uncooked
- 2 cups chicken broth low sodium
- scallions optional, for topping
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients for the cajun seasoning in a small bowl.
- Toss the cubed chicken in a tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning.
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a large pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and brown for a couple minutes. Don't cook the chicken all the way through, it will finish cooking with the rice. Remove the chicken from the pan and onto a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add in the onion and pepper and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and a tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Stir in the rice and then pour in the chicken broth. Bring it to a simmer and then add the chicken back into the pan. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
- Once the rice is tender turn of the heat and let it steam for another 5 minutes to absorb any excess liquid. Top with sliced scallions and serve.
