Erickson Cajun Chicken & Rice Bowl

The chicken version of our quick Cajun rice bowl uses the same seasoned rice method, with skillet-cooked Cajun chicken mixed right into the bowl.

Ingredients

Chicken, enough for your family

Erickson Homemade Cajun Seasoning, to taste, or store-bought Cajun seasoning

Olive oil, as needed for the skillet

Erickson Stovetop Rice, prepared

Butter, to taste for the rice

Additional Cajun seasoning, to taste for the rice

Directions

1. Prepare the rice using the Erickson Stovetop Rice recipe.

2. Pat the chicken dry, cut into manageable pieces if needed, and season with Erickson Homemade Cajun Seasoning or another Cajun seasoning.

3. Heat a cast-iron or carbon-steel skillet with a little olive oil. When placing the chicken into the hot skillet, lay it away from you so any hot oil splashes away from your body.

4. Cook until browned and the chicken reaches 165°F internally.

5. Stir butter into the cooked rice to taste. Add Cajun seasoning to the rice according to your preferred spice level.

6. Cut or break up the cooked chicken, mix it into the seasoned rice, and serve.
