    Instructions

    1
    |
    Add half of the oil to stockpot or Dutch oven and cook over medium heat.
    2
    |
    Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, and half of the Cajun seasoning. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped chicken to the pot. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. This should take 6-8 minutes.

    Rinse the rice and cook in 1 1/3 cup water until fluffy and tender, bring the rice and water to a boil, then reduce to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to sit covered for at least 5 minutes.
