Winner winner spiced Cajun chicken dinner in one pot.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 chicken thigh cutlets (skin on)
  • 20.00 gm cajun seasoning
  • 1 brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 200.00 gm basmati rice
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 310g jar roasted red pepper strips, drained
  • 1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
  • 230g jar pitted Sicilian olives, drained, halved
  • 40.00 ml finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a deep frying pan over medium-high heat, heat half of the oil. Rub the chicken with 1 1/2 tablespoons of seasoning and cook, turning occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes until golden and nearly cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • In a pan over medium-high heat, heat the remaining oil. Throw in the onion and sauté for 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the rice, garlic, and remaining seasoning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in 2 cups of water, capsicum, and stock, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, place the chicken on top, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Garnish the pilaf with olives and parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
