Cajun Chicken with Rice & Peas

"Toot Toot! Rootin’ Tootin' Cajun Chicken with Rice & Peas


A warming spicy chicken one pot wonder you can cook on the BBQ or hob. Spice it up with chorizo and it's a great way to use the veg at the bottom of the fridge - and freezer favourites like a petit pois! You want a good mix of colours, shapes and textures. Salmon, beef or pork would also work well in this recipe.


We settled on chicken thighs - because thighs have much more flavour than breast meat, and they stay juicy after cooking.


You can make it a thrifty and nutritious family meal using thighs with the skin and bone, that will easily feed four, maybe with leftovers! It’s a quick warming dinner for rainy days. You could always boil up the bones to make a tasty stock."
