Background: My mom got this recipe from her local HEB and recommended it to me since it was easy and tasty. I set out to buy ingredients on my next grocery shopping trip (I buy what's needed for one dish each trip) and here we are!
Ingredients:
12 oz cooked chicken
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 to 3 tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning, as desired
2 cups chicken broth
1 can (14.5 oz) stewed or diced tomatoes
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 dried bay leaf
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large skillet. Saute celery, onion, and bell pepper for 5 minutes; add Cajun-style seasoning and cook 3 minutes until vegetables are tender.
2. Stir in broth, tomatoes, rice, and bay leaf; bring to boil. Reduce to low; cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
3. In the meantime, cook chicken and cut into bite-size pieces. Toss chicken with cooked rice mixture.
This should be enough for 4-6 servings. If it's for 6, it'll be around 215 calories per serving.
Verdict: Easy peasy. And I love it! Joseph had two heaping helpings of this so I know it's good. This will definitely be part of our everyday meal rotation from now on!
