Ingredient

For the Chicken:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts - or chicken thighs

1 tsp. olive oil

2 tsp. Cajun Rice Mix

2 Tbsp. butter

1 Tbsp. honey

handful cilantro - chopped

salt & paper for taste

For the Rice:

1 Tbsp. butter - as needed

1 celery stalk - thinly sliced

1 bell pepper - diced

1 tsp. minced garlic

1 cup long grain white rice - uncooked

2 ¼ cups chicken broth

1 Tbsp. Cajun Rice Mix

Instruction

1

Rub olive oil all over chicken. Season with Cajun Rice Mix all over. Add dash of salt and black paper for taste.

2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Once the butter is just melted, stir in the honey.

3

Add chicken to the pan and brown for 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

4

Add celery, bell peppers, and garlic to the pan and saute for 1 minute (there should be enough oil/butter left in the pan from the chicken but if not, you can add 1 tablespoon of butter if needed).

5

Stir in rice, Cajun Rice Mix, broth, salt, and black paper and taste. Bring to a boil.

6

Reduce heat to a simmer (medium-low), return chicken to pan (place on top of rice), cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender.
