Method

  1. Step 1

    Place the chicken in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tbs of the Cajun seasoning and toss to combine.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken mixture, in 2 batches, turning occasionally, for 5 mins or until cooked through. Transfer to a bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the oil in the pan over medium heat. Add remaining Cajun seasoning and cook for 1 min or until fragrant. Add the rice and ⅔ cup (160ml) water. Cook, stirring, for 6-7 mins or until water evaporates. Remove from heat.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the rice among serving bowls. Top with avocado, capsicum, chicken, mango, onion and coriander. Combine the mayonnaise, paprika and lime juice in a small bowl. Drizzle over the chicken and vegetables. Serve with lime wedges.
