Cajun Rice Ingredients

Method

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.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free Cajun Rice.
