Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon honey
2 mangoes (diced (optional))
handful cilantro (chopped)
1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
2 1/4 cups chicken broth (I used low sodium)
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning

Steps:

Rub olive oil all over chicken. Season with Cajun seasoning all over.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Once the butter is just melted, stir in the honey.
Add chicken to the pan and brown for 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add rice, cajun, seasoning, and broth to the pan and give it a good stir. Bring to a boil.
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.
Fluff rice with a fork and serve chicken and rice with a scoop of mangoes (or alternate option, see notes), fresh cilantro, and lime wedges for squeezing.

CAST IRON SKILLET CAJUN CHICKEN

Cast Iron Skillet Cajun Chicken image

This recipe is so easy - and so good! One of my favorite dishes that my mother-in-law has been making for years. Perfect when accompanied with rice. Preparing in a good "seasoned" cast iron skillet is a must for the flavor to come out right. I prefer using chicken breasts with bones, but my husband likes boneless - either way it comes out great!

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, chicken broth and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to low and simmer for 12-14 minutes or until cooked. Remove from the heat and keep covered.
Meanwhile, season the cubed chicken with Cajun or Creole seasoning. Use a generous amount, about 2-3 tablespoons.
In a skillet set over medium-high heat, add one tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook until seared on both sides, about 2-3 minutes on each. (Note: you may need to do 2 batches of chicken so that it has enough space to cook and brown). When the chicken is cooked throughout, remove and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet, turn heat high. When the oil is hot, add the onions and bell pepper. Sprinkle a few pinches of seasoning over the vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the okra, cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and paste to the skillet along with the cooked chicken. Stir, then add rice and mix until incorporated. Remove from the heat, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
