Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes undrained
  • 1 cup corn frozen
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • parsley chopped fresh for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Rub the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the rice, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), frozen corn, and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Slice the grilled chicken and return it to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the Cajun grilled chicken and rice skillet garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
