One Pot Spicy Cajun Chicken & Rice

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts ( Finely cut into thin pieces)
4-5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, divided (You can use market based seasoning or you can make your own Cajun seasoning by your own)
1 cup rice
2 and 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 whole bell pepper
Chopped cilantro

Homemade Cajun Seasoning

1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
3/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

1- Take a large bowl and add chicken in it. Season the chicken with some Cajun seasoning and make sure that chicken is seasoned properly. Toss the chicken so that it is seasoned properly.

2- Take a large skillet and make sure that the skillet has lid with it. Place some olive oil in it and add the seasoned chicken in it. Flip the side of the chicken after 5-6 minutes when the chicken is cooked properly from one side. Cook the chicken from other side for 4-5 minutes or until turns brown in color. Cover the skillet with lid while cooking it. Keep the heat on medium high range for proper cooking.

3- Reduce the range of heat to medium low and add rice, bell peppers, chicken broth and remaining Cajun seasoning in it. Stir it properly to combine the ingredients. You can adjust the spices by adding more Cajun seasoning in it.

4- Place the chicken on the top of the rice and cover it. Simmer it for 20-25 minutes until the liquid is absorbed fully and chicken is cooked properly. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

Note/Tips

Cut the chicken into slice. Do not forget to look for right size- small enough in a 12 inch skillet. Try to cut the chicken Cajun about 1 inch in thickness. I recommend you to avoid having chicken Cajun in thin thickness because they will cook very quickly and there s chance to get burn early.
You can use any kind of skillet but I prefer you to use cast iron skillet pan which will giver awesome sear on your chicken Cajun.
