Method
Step 1
Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and chorizo, in batches, and cook, tossing occasionally, for 5 mins or until golden. Transfer the chicken mixture to a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add the onion and capsicum and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until the onion softens. Add the Cajun seasoning and cook for 30 secs or until aromatic. Add the rice, stock cubes and 3 cups (750ml) water and bring to a simmer. Return chicken mixture to the saucepan over low heat. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 mins or until the liquid is absorbed, chicken is cooked through and rice is tender. Season.
Step 3
Divide the rice mixture evenly among serving bowls. Sprinkle with parsley leaves to serve.
Recipe tip
COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Smart swap: You can use salami instead of chorizo for this recipe – prep and cook it the same way as you would the chorizo.
Use it up: Why not use up leftover parsley to make a salad dressing, or add it to butter for a herby melt for steaks and vegetables.
