Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. Sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced Cajun or Andouille sausage, allowing it to brown for about 3-4 minutes. Add 1 diced onion, 1 diced bell pepper, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add 1 cup of long-grain rice. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning and pour in 2 cups of chicken broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to low, and cover. Let cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
- Once the rice is fluffy, remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve hot.
