Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan with a lid and brown the chicken for 5-8 mins until golden. Remove and set aside. Tip in the onion and cook for 3-4 mins until soft. Then add the pepper, garlic, chorizo and Cajun seasoning, and cook for 5 mins more.
  2. Stir the chicken back in with the rice, add the tomatoes and stock. Cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until the rice is tender.

Use up leftover Cajun seasoning

Cut 2 chicken breasts into strips, mix 1 tbsp of Cajun seasoning with a little oil and rub all over the chicken. Fry for 6-8 mins until golden and cooked through. Serve with guacamole, soured cream, a tub of salsa and some flour tortillas.

    I have made this dish on numerous occasions since it first appeared in the magazine (back in April I believe?). It never fails! It's so simple, delicious and easy to make, it goes a very long way and keeps really well - great for taking to work the next day for lunch! I sometimes substitute the chicken for turkey as a more budget friendly option, but otherwise I follow this recipe to the letter and it comes out perfectly every time!

    I LOVE this recipe... I am a weight watchers follower and this recipe makes my day when I have it, low in points and totally delicious! It is firmly in my favourites. I do usually add a little more chorizo and garlic to it for personal taste but other than that its spot on x

    Used left over chicken from a sunday roast and was a total winner. My two year old loved it too. Have already been asked when we're having it again :)

    This was lovely, and my picky kids really enjoyed it too. Was worried it would be too spicy for my 5 year old but there is no heat, just flavour. May add a little more garlic to it, and some fresh chopped chillis to my husband's portion (he likes it hot!) next time. I found 400 ml stock was needed for 20 mins on a slow simmer with the lid on. Really easy, tasty midweek dish.

    Very tasty indeed, I used 175g of chorizo instead of 75g and I think this made all the difference

    Love this recipe! Made it tonight for 4 people and it went down so well. I used 300g of rice instead of 250 and just added more liquid as I went along because I knew I'd need more. Gorgeous!
