Simple Cajun Chicken & Rice

Bold Cajun spice, juicy chicken, and flavorful rice all made in one pan. This dish hits hard and comes together fast—perfect for a quick dinner with a kick.

Ingredients:

0.5x
1x
2x
4x
 
  •   1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  •   2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  •   1 tbsp olive oil
  •   1 small onion, finely diced
  •   3 garlic cloves, minced
  •   1 cup long grain white rice
  •   2 cups chicken broth
  •   Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with Cajun seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté diced onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the rice, letting it toast for 1–2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  5. Return the chicken to the pan, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Let sit covered for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onion if desired.

One skillet. Big Cajun flavor. Quick cleanup. That’s how we do it in Chef Holmez’s kitchen.
