Name: One Pot Cajun Chicken and Rice
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Cajun
Ingredients: 3 tbsp olive oil; 600 g skinless chicken thighs; 2 tbsp cajun seasoning; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 yellow onion; 3 stalks celery; 1 red pepper, diced; 400 g andouille sausage, sliced; 350 g brown long grain rice; 600 ml chicken stock; 1 tsp sea salt flakes; 2 tbsp chopped curly parsley; 4 wedges lime, to serve

1

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high.

2

Rub the chicken thighs all over with the cajun seasoning. Cook until the spices begin to blacken and the thighs are cooked through. Transfer the chicken thighs to a plate and set aside.

3

Add the garlic, onion, celery, bell pepper, and andouille sausage to the pan and saute until the vegetables have softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice and chicken broth.

4

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the liquid has absorbed.

5

Return the chicken to the pan and cover again until the chicken is heated through and the rice is fully cooked, about 5 additional minutes. Season with Kosher salt, to taste.

6

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm with lime wedges.
