Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preparation
  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook 2-3 minutes per side until browned. (The chicken doesn’t need to be cooked all the way through.) Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in skillet. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add rice and garlic cook 2 minutes more.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and broth or water. Bring to a boil. Place chicken over rice and season with Cajun seasoning. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Stir, serve, and enjoy!
