Ingredients
For the chicken
- 6-7 chicken thighs (I used bone in, skin removed)
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- Cajun seasoning
For the rice
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning*
Directions
Season chicken on both sides with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning.
Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat. Sear chicken smooth side down and cook for 4 minutes. Flip chicken over and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove, set aside and wipe pan clean.
Add more oil and sauté bell peppers, onions and garlic for 3 minutes.
Add chicken broth, tomato sauce, Cajun seasoning, and basmati rice.
Stir everything together and bring to a boil. Reduce heat all the way down to low, cover and cook until rice is tender, about 20-22 minutes.
Remove chicken and fluff rice, return chicken to the pan.
