Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with Cajun seasoning.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Chop the bell pepper, onion, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped bell pepper, onion, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  4. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  5. 7

    Combine Chicken and Rice

    Return the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet, then add the cooked rice. Stir to combine everything well.

  6. 8

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the rice to heat through.

Serving

  1. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Once done, remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your Cajun dish!
