Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cajun Chicken & Rice
- Generously coat chicken with Cajun seasoning. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add chopped onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened. Sprinkle in additional Cajun seasoning.
- Stir in uncooked rice and sauté for 1–2 minutes, allowing rice to absorb flavors from the skillet.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return seared chicken to the skillet, cover, and cook for 20–25 minutes until rice is tender.
- Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with parsley or green onions, and squeeze lemon juice if desired. Serve hot!

Notes
For best results, ensure the chicken is well-coated with Cajun seasoning and keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning garlic and vegetables. Customize with additional vegetables or swap chicken for tofu as desired.
