Ingredients
This recipe can easily be doubled and the fact that it tastes even better the next day makes it the perfect make-ahead party dish. Cajun seasoning mixtures vary in heat levels. This was made with McCormick Cajun seasoning and is pleasantly, but not overpoweringly, spicy. - Terry
- 2 tsp. canola oil
- 12 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1 Tbsp. Cajun seasoning (more or less to taste)
- 1 ¼ cups chopped onion
- 1 cup diced green bell pepper or Italian frying pepper (Cubanelle)
- ½ cup diced celery
- 4 oz. fully-cooked smoked turkey sausage, diced
- 1 Tbsp. flour
- 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (14 ½ oz.) diced tomatoes in juice
- ½ cup quick-cooking brown rice
- 10 oz. box frozen cut okra (about 2 cups)
- 8 oz. peeled shrimp (31 to 40 per lb. size)
Instructions
Heat 1 tsp. of the oil in a 4 ½-quart nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add chicken; sprinkle with 2 tsp. Cajun seasoning. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Add remaining 1 tsp. oil to saucepan. Add onion, peppers, and celery and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add sausage to saucepan; cook over medium –high heat, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
Add flour and cook, stirring constantly 2 minutes. Stir in broth, tomatoes and remaining 1 tsp. Cajun seasoning and bring to a boil, scraping bottom of pan.
Add rice, and okra; simmer 7 minutes.
Stir in shrimp, and chicken and cook until rice is tender and shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes.
