Cajun Rice Recipe

Cajun Rice Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Gather all the ingredients and chop the bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic. Shred the cooked chicken if not already done.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, onion, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

3. 3

   Add Garlic and Seasoning

   Stir in the minced garlic and cajun seasoning. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add Rice and Broth

   Add the long-grain white rice to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Cook the Rice

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

6. 6

   Add Chicken

   Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently stir in the shredded chicken. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
