Step 1
Combine all of the ingredients for the cajun seasoning in a small bowl.
Step 2
Toss the cubed chicken in a tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning.
Step 3
Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a large pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and brown for a couple minutes. Don't cook the chicken all the way through, it will finish cooking with the rice. Remove the chicken from the pan and onto a plate.
Step 4
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add in the onion and pepper and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and a tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning and cook for another 30 seconds.
Step 5
Stir in the rice and then pour in the chicken broth. Bring it to a simmer and then add the chicken back into the pan. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Step 6
Once the rice is tender turn of the heat and let it steam for another 5 minutes to absorb any excess liquid. Top with sliced scallions and serve.
