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.
